Rourke impresses in first live action; Kubiak sees bright future despite rib injury.

Rourke made a strong statement in his first live action since 2024 despite a rib injury that offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak does not believe will be long-term. Kubiak said Rourke was 'excellent' at getting the huddle organized and executing plays 'really well,' and was 'really pleased with how he played.' Kubiak noted Rourke has a 'bright future' with a lot of room to grow, describing him as 'an NFL thrower who was very bright, had the right size, and had a chance to be a player.' While Kubiak said it's 'premature' to say if Rourke has seen enough to stick around, he emphasized the team drafted Rourke because they believed he was an NFL quarterback with talent better than his 7th-round draft position.
