San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan will begin training camp with a limited role as he recovers from multiple injuries sustained in a car accident last week, the team announced on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The accident occurred on July 14 near Shanahan's home.

According to team and media reports, Shanahan's vehicle collided with an SUV. He suffered a severe concussion, three broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken hand, and required over 40 stitches to his face. Authorities confirmed no citations were issued and that intoxication was not a factor. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured. Shanahan was treated and released from a hospital the same day and has been recovering at home.

The 49ers stated his injuries are non-life-threatening. In a team statement, officials said Shanahan will participate in team activities on a limited basis at the start of camp while he recovers and expressed gratitude to first responders.
