The San Francisco 49ers played their first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on August 13, losing 19-13. In a game that featured many young players, the 49ers did not utilize their starting veterans, as head coach Kyle Shanahan opted to give younger players more experience. Rookie De'Zhaun Stribling performed well with 7 catches for 63 yards, while quarterback Kurtis Rourke completed 12 of 14 passes for 101 yards in his first NFL action. The 49ers will evaluate the performances further before heading into their next preseason matchup.
