The San Francisco 49ers just lost 19-13 to the Tennessee Titans — but the final score doesn’t tell the real story.
Brock Purdy didn’t play, and San Francisco used its preseason opener to evaluate its depth against Tennessee. Kurtis Rourke impressed before leaving with a rib injury, Adrian Martinez took over, and rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling emerged as one of the biggest stars of the night.
So what did the 49ers vs Titans matchup actually reveal about San Francisco?
In this video, we break down the biggest takeaways from the San Francisco 49ers preseason opener, including the quarterback depth behind Brock Purdy, De’Zhaun Stribling’s breakout performance, Kurtis Rourke’s impressive debut, Adrian Martinez’s struggles, and the concerns surrounding the 49ers’ backup offensive line.
Was this loss actually a warning sign for Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers — or did San Francisco discover exactly what it needed to fix before the 2026 NFL season?
