49ers coach downplays QB need after Rourke's injury during preseason

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan addressed concerns regarding quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who was hospitalized Thursday night due to a rib injury. Shanahan indicated that adding another quarterback is not urgent, as the team currently has three quarterbacks on the roster. Rourke exited the game after completing 12-of-14 passes for 101 yards. While X-rays showed no broken rib, further evaluation is pending on Rourke’s condition. If Rourke is unable to play, Adrian Martinez would take over the third-string quarterback role, and Shanahan mentioned contingency plans involving tight end Brayden Willis. The 49ers are monitoring the situation as the preseason progresses.
