Kyle Shanahan Attends 49ers Training Camp After Being Injured in Car Crash - Bleacher Report

What the report says

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan appeared at the team’s first training camp practice after the club disclosed he had been injured in a car crash earlier in July, Bleacher Report reported. Citing The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, the report said Shanahan spent a little more than 30 minutes on the field during Sunday’s team period and stood near general manager John Lynch. Several players, including Kyle Juszczyk, Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw, greeted him during the session.

The 49ers announced Saturday, when veterans were due to report to camp, that Shanahan had sustained injuries that were not considered life-threatening. According to Bleacher Report, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Nick Wagoner reported that the July 14 crash happened near Shanahan’s home when his vehicle and an SUV collided. The injuries reported by ESPN included a broken nose, three broken ribs, a broken hand, a concussion and more than 40 facial stitches.

Bleacher Report said Shanahan’s training camp duties will be limited while he recovers. Lynch said the team will treat his return similarly to a concussion protocol and that Shanahan must be cleared before taking back full coaching responsibilities. The team does not currently expect the situation to affect his availability for Week 1, according to the report.

In the interim, assistant head coach and offensive line coach Chris Foerster is acting head coach. San Francisco is scheduled to open its preseason Aug. 13 against the Tennessee Titans at Levi’s Stadium, before beginning the regular season Sept. 10 against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia.
