News: Injuries, preseason win, tryouts

The first week of the NFL preseason has arrived, and attention in the NFC West turns to what’s happening around the Arizona Cardinals’ division rivals, particularly the San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco opened at home against the Tennessee Titans without playing its starters and lost 19-13. The game featured six combined field goals. A concern followed when QB Kurtis Rourke left with a rib injury and was taken to a hospital after breathing trouble. The 49ers also worked out three cornerbacks after injuries, including trying veteran Nate Hobbs. They inquired about Buccaneers DT Vita Vea after he requested a trade.
