Chris Foerster Leads 49ers Camp, Delegates Duties as Kyle Shanahan Recovers From July 14 Concussion

Summary
Chris Foerster said Sunday the 49ers' coaching operation will be a "group effort" while Kyle Shanahan is limited by a severe concussion from a recent car accident.
Foerster said Shanahan gave him broad authority to run camp or delegate tasks, and he immediately split the morning team meeting between the offense and defense instead of handling it alone.
Raheem Morris, Klay Kubiak and Brant Boyer are expected to absorb pieces of Shanahan's usual workload, with Foerster saying assistants had been planning for days how to fill the gaps.
The timeline for Shanahan's full return remains unclear; Foerster's reference to deciding matters "each week, each day" suggested the absence could extend beyond a brief interruption.
