San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suffered non-life-threatening injuries in a car accident last week, the team confirmed in an official statement.
According to the organization, Shanahan is expected to take part in team activities on a limited basis as training camp begins. Despite the incident, his involvement signals a positive recovery outlook.
In his absence from full duties, longtime assistant coach Chris Foerster, who serves as assistant head coach and offensive line coach, will oversee training camp operations. He will be supported by defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and other members of the coaching staff.
The 49ers’ veterans are scheduled to report for training camp on Saturday, with the first practice set to take place on Sunday.
No further details about the accident have been released at this time. The team has indicated that updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Shanahan’s temporary limitation comes at a crucial time as the 49ers prepare for the upcoming NFL season, but the coaching staff structure ensures continuity during his recovery.
