49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan says he plans to coach the team in its first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. Multiple outlets report that Shanahan is nearly fully recovered after being injured in a July 14 car accident, which kept him sidelined for much of the summer.
The crash left Shanahan with a concussion and multiple injuries, including broken ribs, and other related issues reported by outlets. One report describes additional injuries such as a broken nose and broken hand, along with stitches over an eye. Shanahan says he has been working back to full speed and has attended practice every day.
Outlets largely align on the timeline—injuries from the July 14 accident, recovery over the summer, and readiness for Thursday night’s preseason opener. One outlet also notes that Shanahan previously had to manage discomfort at the start of camp, including loud music, which he says is no longer an issue.
