49ers QB Released from Hospital After Rib Injury

The San Francisco 49ers faced injury challenges in their preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans, losing cornerback Jack Jones to a hand injury and third-string quarterback Kurtis Rourke to a rib injury that required a hospital visit. Rourke, who completed 12-of-14 passes for 100 yards before the injury, was later discharged after experiencing shortness of breath. With Rourke out, Adrian Martinez was the only quarterback available, as starters Brock Purdy and Mac Jones did not play. The team’s ongoing injury woes raise concerns as the regular season approaches.
