From the article

Rourke, a seventh-round pick in 2025, apparently showed San Francisco enough in one (impressive) half of preseason football to give them confidence that he can be Purdy's backup next season, when Jones is likely to be eyeing one of the other 31 starting jobs. He broke three ribs in his lone preseason appearance but is expected to return to practice this week.
