Summary
Kyle Shanahan suffered a broken nose, three broken ribs, a broken hand and a severe concussion in a July 14 crash, leaving the 49ers coach limited as training camp opens Sunday.
Chris Foerster, 64, will assume head-coaching duties with the coordinators while Shanahan recovers; doctors have not cleared Shanahan for camp activity until his concussion symptoms resolve.
Palo Alto police said Shanahan's vehicle collided with an SUV near his Northern California home, the other driver was uninjured, and no drugs, alcohol or citations were involved.
Shanahan, 46, is entering his 10th season with an 82-67 regular-season record, and general manager John Lynch is set to address the situation later Saturday.
