SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former Utah Ute and current Seattle Seahawks safety Marquise Blair will miss significant time after suffering a knee injury on Monday night.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll talked about it on his weekly radio show on Tuesday after his team lost to the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
“He had a patellar injury and his kneecap got fractured, so he’s going to have to get that cleaned up,” Carroll said of Blair.

After playing in 14 games as a rookie in 2019, Blair suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 of the 2020 season and missed the rest of the year. This season, the former Ute played in six games, recording two pass deflections and nine tackles.
Seattle is 2-5 on the season after losing their third straight game. They will return home on Sunday, October 31 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at 2:05 p.m. MT on CBS.
