Seattle’s 19–16 loss to Tennessee produced clear roster signals: Hart played almost every snap at tackle while Amari Kight sat out; Richman’s injury bumped Christian Haynes and Bryce Cabeldue into earlier action; Montorie Foster stayed active on offense and special teams, with Bobo out for the season leaving WR5 wide open; defensively Knight and O’Connell sat, Surratt and Paul Jr. logged heavy snaps, Finley started at safety for the second straight game, and Andre Fuller secured the nickel role while Igbinoghene and Pritchett handled the boundary; Seattle wraps up the preseason Friday vs. Kansas City.

Injury Storm Clouds Seahawks' Preseason Loss to Titans

Seattle’s 19-16 preseason loss to Tennessee was overshadowed by a spate of injuries (Bud Clark out months with an ankle issue; Mason Richman sidelined long-term; Jake Bobo season-ending knee). On the field, Drew Lock steadied the offense (12-of-14 for 103 yards, a TD, no picks) while Jalen Milroe struggled with two interceptions. Jacardia Wright sparked a 69-yard TD and finished with 81 yards, and edge rusher Connor O’Toole contributed 1.5 sacks. Elijah Arroyo caught a 36-yard TD and Seattle’s WR/CB battles continued, with Montorie Foster Jr., Cody White, and others flashing at times, plus special-teams miscues (muffed punt, missed kicks) molding roster decisions ahead of final cuts.

Rourke Shines Before Rib Injury as 49ers' Preseason Grades Spotlight Depth

The 49ers lost 19-13 to the Titans in their first preseason game. Kurtis Rourke looked sharp (12-for-14, 101 yards) before he injured his rib on a risky goal-line scramble, while Adrian Martinez struggled in relief. De’Zhaun Stribling stood out at wide receiver (7 catches, 63 yards) amid veteran absences, but the rest of the receiving corps and the run game were uneven. The left guard spot is a clear concern, Gracen Halton flashed on defense, and overall depth issues across the line and back seven were evident; the piece suggests Rourke could be a development option or potential backup, pending his health.

Five Niners to Watch as Preseason Opener Sets Roster Baseline

San Francisco hosts Tennessee in the preseason opener with likely no starters active, but several players will prove their worth for the roster: Jordan Watkins competes for depth at receiver alongside Deebo Samuel; Carver Willis and veteran Robert Jones battle for the left guard (Willis also gets looks at center); Jack Jones must shed boom-or-bust labels in the secondary; Nick Martin aims to show he can be more than a chase-and-run defender and potentially contribute as a starter if injuries arise; and Bryson Eason threatens to edge into the defensive line rotation, making the most of the showcase opportunity.
