What happened: The accident occurred during Shanahan's summer break in mid-July. He sustained multiple fractures and facial wounds that required stitches.
Why it matters: His limited role could shift practice management and roster evaluation across the coaching staff. The timing leaves San Francisco adjusting duties as full-team work begins.
By the numbers: Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs and a hand and required more than 40 facial stitches.
What to watch: Watch how much of practice Shanahan can oversee and whether his workload expands during camp.
