SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) --- San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was
injured in a car crash earlier this month that will limit his participation at
the start of training camp.
The 49ers made the announcement on Saturday when the team opened training camp.
The Niners will conduct their first practice on Sunday with assistant head
coach/offensive line coach Chris Foerster running the team, along with
coordinators Klay Kubiak, Raheem Morris and Brant Boyer.
The team said Shanahan suffered "non-life-threatening injuries" in the crash
last week and will be limited while he recovers. The 49ers thanked first
responders for their work at the scene of the crash.
Shanahan is entering his 10th season as 49ers coach and is one of the most
highly regarded coaches in the game for his offensive acumen. San Francisco has
made two trips to the Super Bowl under his watch following the 2019 and 2023
seasons and made two additional appearances in the NFC title game in the 2021
and '22 seasons.
Shanahan has a 91-72 record in the regular season and playoffs for the 49ers,
ranking third in franchise history in wins behind George Seifert (108) and Bill
Walsh (102).
The team overcame significant injuries last season to finish 12-5 in the
regular season and win a playoff game as Shanahan finished fifth in voting for
the AP NFL Coach of the Year.
