Seahawks Elevate S Marquise Blair & CB Artie Burns From Practice Squad The Seahawks elevated a pair of defensive backs from their practice squad ahead of their season opener against the Broncos.
Heading back to Seattle The Seahawks signed Blair on Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Impact Blair entered the league as a 2019 second-round pick by Seattle, but the Seahawks cut him back in 2022 after he was only available for a total of eight games during the previous two seasons combined. After missing the entire season last year, Blair will now get a second chance with his old squad.

Cut by Carolina The Panthers cut Blair from their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Carolina had used all of their three allowed standard elevations for Blair and opted to let him go rather than signing him to the active roster. The 25-year-old safety played almost exclusively on special teams for the Panthers, and he'll now have to look for more snaps elsewhere.

Leading tackler Thursday Blair posted nine tackles (nine solo) in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears.
Impact Blair underwent knee surgery in October of last year and missed the rest of the 2021 season. He's since been cleared and is a full-go, and he led the Seahawks in tackles Thursday. The 2019 second-round pick has struggled to stay healthy in his career, but he has a good chance to make the 53-man roster after the Seahawks traded DB Ugo Amadi to the Eagles last week.

Clean bill of health Blair (knee) is healthy and participating in training camp, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Blair has played just eight games over the last two seasons due to season-ending knee injuries in back-to-back seasons. He's finally healthy again, and he'll get a chance to compete for the starting nickel corner role in training camp. Justin Coleman -- who has been taking starting reps so far in training camp -- and Ugo Amadi will be his main competition.

IR stint looming Blair fractured his kneecap during Monday's loss to the Saints and will likely need surgery, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Impact As expected, Blair suffered a significant injury during the Seahawks' loss to the Saints and will likely be placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery. The 24-year-old safety had a small role in Seattle's secondary, playing double-digit snaps five times and 20-plus snaps twice. Ugo Amadi and Ryan Neal will be the top candidates to handle those snaps during Blair's absence.
