Who Should I Start? Devin Leary or Kurtis Rourke

Saturday, August 23, 3:38 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Devin Leary had an unimpressive showing in the 30-3 preseason victory over the Washington Commanders, completing 17 of 23 passes for just 71 yards and zero touchdowns, averaging a mere 3.1 yards per attempt. The second-year, former day-three selection from Kentucky also added two carries for nine yards, averaging more yards on the ground than through the air. Leary's performance did little to impress, likely confirming his position as the third quarterback on the depth chart.

San Francisco 49ers rookie seventh-round quarterback Kurtis Rourke (knee) will begin training camp this summer on the Non-Football Injury list after the team's rookies reported to camp on Tuesday. In addition, second-round rookie defensive tackle Alfred Collins has yet to report while being one of the many second-round picks this year that have yet to sign their rookie deals. The 24-year-old Rourke played through a torn ACL in his final collegiate season in 2024 at Indiana, but he will not be ready to practice with the Niners when training camp kicks off next week. When Rourke is cleared to participate in practices, he'll merely be competing for the No. 3 QB role in San Fran behind starter Brock Purdy and backup Mac Jones. The 49ers also have Tanner Mordecai on roster at the QB position this year.
