Coach Kyle Shanahan makes a triumphant return to the sideline for the 49ers’ preseason opener, just months after surviving a serious car crash that left him with a concussion, broken ribs, and a fractured nose. Though his body is healing, he’s still managing symptoms by limiting non-essential duties while handing key responsibilities to trusted assistants like Chris Foerster, Clay Kubiak, Raheem Morris, and Brant Boyer. Shanahan revealed the crash occurred in Palo Alto when his Tesla on autopilot crossed into oncoming traffic — a sobering reminder that drivers remain fully responsible, even with advanced tech. His presence has already energized the team; QB Brock Purdy called him the “godfather” of the squad, citing his unmatched leadership and intensity. With the regular season just around the corner, Shanahan’s return signals a renewed focus and drive for the Niners.
