New York released Blair (hamstring) on Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of NorthJersey.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blair dealt with a hamstring injury in training camp, but it looks like he was healthy upon release. The veteran defensive end hasn't appeared in regular-season action since 2019, and he couldn't stick to the Jets' initial 53-man roster despite prior experience with coach Robert Saleh.

Blair exited Saturday's preseason win over the Packers with a hamstring injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Blair's injury isn't yet known, and it's unclear whether the issue will impact his availability for Friday's preseason finale against the Eagles. The 28-year-old defensive lineman joined the Jets in June after he missed the 2020 campaign due to a torn ACL.

The 49ers released Blair (knee) on Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the entirety of the 2020 campaign due to a torn ACL, Blair will leave San Francisco and aim to play elsewhere once recovered. The 28-year-old has proved when healthy he can provide depth for a team's defensive line, recording 36 tackles and 5.5 sacks during his best year in 2018.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Blair (knee) is "unlikely to play this season," Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blair has spent the entire 2020 campaign to this point on the reserve/PUP list while working to recover from an ACL tear sustained last season. He suffered a setback back in October, and it seems that the issue is severe enough to push his return to 2021.

Blair (knee) suffered a setback and will take longer to return from the reserve/PUP list, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's still no clear timeline for his return, but a quick recovery would help with the 49ers' depleted depth at defensive end. However, it looks like it may take at least a few more weeks before Blair is ready to return. Over the previous two seasons, Blair recorded 57 tackles and 8.5 sacks through 25 games.
