What happened: Kyle Shanahan took training-camp questions for the first time Saturday after beginning camp in a limited role following a July 14 car crash. He said his noise sensitivity has subsided, with headaches and fatigue still present.

Why it matters: His return moves San Francisco closer to its normal coaching setup ahead of the 2026 regular season. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak called plays during last year's preseason, giving Shanahan room to delegate that job again.

By the numbers: The preseason opener comes 30 days after the crash.

What to watch: Kubiak's play-calling role and any further delegation will come into focus Thursday.
