49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Practices Saturday
Rourke (ribs) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Rourke was hospitalized during Thursday night's preseason opener against the Titans due to shortness of breath caused by a rib injury. The quarterback's return to practice just two days after the issue is a strong sign that he is past the issue and set to back up Brock Purdy and Mac Jones. Rourke will likely see significant snaps in next Thursday's preseason showdown with the Chargers.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Leaves hospital Thursday
Rourke (ribs) was discharged from the hospital Thursday night, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Rourke left Thursday night's preseason opener against the Titans with shortness of breath due to a rib injury. The quarterback's next chance to get preseason reps will be in next Thursday's contest against the Chargers. Rourke is competing with Adrian Martinez for the No. 3 quarterback role behind Brock Purdy and Mac Jones. Healthy preseason snaps will be a must for the 2025 seventh-rounder as he tries to remain on the 49ers' 53-man roster in consecutive seasons.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Questionable to return Thursday
Rourke (ribs) is questionable to return to Thursday night's preseason contest against the Titans, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Rourke suffered an injury to his ribs in the first half, and his status for the remainder of the game is now up in the air. The second-year pro is competing with Adrian Martinez for the No. 3 quarterback role with San Francisco this season, and his chances to beat out Martinez would take a major hit if the injury sidelines him moving forward.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Ready for minicamp
Rourke (knee) will participate in rookie minicamp starting Friday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Rourke was drafted in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but because he spent the entire season on the reserve/non-football injury list as he recovered from a torn ACL he suffered in his final year at Indiana, he'll be eligible to participate in rookie minicamp. According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Rourke is competing with Adrian Martinez -- who has played one snap since entering the league in 2023 -- to be the No. 3 QB behind Brock Purdy and Mac Jones.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Officially out for 2025
Rourke (knee) will remain on the 49ers' reserve/non-football injury list for the rest of the 2025 season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Rourke opened the 2025 regular season on the NFI list while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained during his final collegiate season at Indiana. He was designated to return from the NFI in early December, but with his 21-day practice window closing, the rookie seventh-rounder will not be available for the rest of the 2025 campaign. Rourke will turn his attention toward being available for the start of the 2026 season, when he'll likely compete for the backup quarterback job behind Brock Purdy.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Won't return Week 17
Rourke (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Chicago, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Rourke is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered during his final collegiate season at Indiana. He's not quite ready to return, but given his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 8, he would need to be activated from the NFI list ahead of the 49ers' Week 18 tilt against the Seahawks. If Rourke is not activated, then he would not be available for the 49ers' regular-season finale or their postseason run.

Rourke will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list for at least one more week. The rookie seventh-round pick has managed to practice in full since having his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 8, but he's nonetheless not ready to join the 53-man roster.

Rourke (knee) is out for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Rourke will have to wait at least one more week to suit up for his first NFL game as he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered in his final year at Indiana. Mac Jones should continue to serve as San Francisco's top option at backup quarterback behind starter Brock Purdy.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Logs full practice
Rourke (knee) practiced in full Wednesday.
Rourke has been sidelined for his entire rookie season after undergoing surgery to repair his knee Jan. 8. He was originally expected back for training camp, though his recovery has clearly taken significantly longer. Rourke was designated to return Monday, so it's unclear if he'll be activated for a Week 15 matchup against the Titans.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Practice window opened
Rourke (knee) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday by the 49ers.
Rourke has been sidelined since late August while on the reserve/non-football injury list with a pre-existing knee injury from his final college campaign with Indiana. The team will now have 21 days to activate him from the NFI list, or he'll be forced to sit out the remainder of the season.

49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Shifts to NFI list
Rourke (knee) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
Rourke played his entire final season at Indiana on a torn ACL but managed to throw for 3,042 yards, 29 touchdowns and five interceptions through 12 games, vaulting the Hoosiers to the College Football Playoff. He underwent surgery Jan. 8 and was subsequently drafted in the seventh round by the 49ers. Due to his recovery, he didn't participate in rookie camp or training camp, and he'll be required to miss at least four games due to his placement on the NFI list. The 49ers can take their time with his recovery as long as Brock Purdy and Mac Jones (knee) are upright, as Rourke projects for the No. 3 role upon return.
