49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan car crash, timeline of events
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a July 14 car crash. Here is how he's doing now.
The San Francisco 49ers head coach, Kyle Shanahan, is set to participate in the team's preseason game against the Tennessee Titans at Levi's Stadium on Thursday. Shanahan was involved in a car accident where he sustained multiple non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken nose, broken ribs, black eyes, and a concussion, according to a team statement.
The injuries initially limited his participation in training camp, but Shanahan has since reported feeling significantly better. In an interview after an August 8 practice, Shanahan mentioned that he had been driving his SUV on autopilot, which led to the accident when he dropped his phone between his seat and had to take his eyes off the road.
Despite the incident, Shanahan is expected to be on the sideline for the 2026 NFL preseason season, despite the fact that he is in his 10th season with the team, boasting an impressive 82-46 regular season record and a 9-5 postseason record.
