Purdy remains the 49ers' starter with Rourke as backup.

Purdy is the 49ers' primary quarterback with Kurtis Rourke positioned as his backup after the 2026 season; the source notes that a 2022-type injury-riddled season would be needed for Rourke to actually play, implying Purdy is expected to remain healthy and the starter.
