Kyle Shanahan suffered a broken nose, three ribs, a broken hand, more than 40 facial stitches and a severe concussion in a serious car accident last week, ESPN reported.
The 49ers said the injuries are non-life-threatening, but Shanahan will take part in training camp only on a limited basis while he recovers.
Chris Foerster, the assistant head coach, and San Francisco's coordinators will handle head-coaching responsibilities during that period.
The announcement lands at the start of camp, leaving one of the NFL's highest-profile teams to adjust its preseason leadership structure immediately.
