Shanahan Limited at Camp Ahead of Week 1
Kyle Shanahan suffered a July 14 car crash near his Northern California home with non-life-threatening injuries including a severe concussion, broken nose, three broken ribs, a broken hand, and facial lacerations. The other driver was uninjured and drugs or alcohol were not involved. He will begin training camp with a limited role while concussion symptoms are monitored, with assistant head coach Chris Foerster and coordinators overseeing head-coach duties in the interim. General manager John Lynch expressed optimism that Shanahan could be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season. Camp opens with Shanahan limited as the team prepares for Week 1 against the Rams, rather than the Melbourne international opener reported earlier. The team and medical staff emphasize recovery and no timetable for full clearance.
