Kurtis Rourke of the San Francisco 49ers was sent to the hospital after suffering a rib injury during their preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on August 13, 2026. Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated the injury was not thought to be serious, with initial X-Rays negative. Rourke was reportedly hurt on a quarterback draw near halftime. Cornerback Nate Hobbs, who did not play in the opener, is expected to miss a few weeks due to a groin injury sustained during joint practices.
