​San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is expected to be on the sideline Thursday for the team’s first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans at Levi’s Stadium.If there were a spot on the injury report for Shanahan, the head coach would be listed as day-to-day with a concussion from a non-football related activity.Shanahan was involved in a car accident where he suffered multiple “non-life-threatening injuries”, according to a team statement.Niners general manager John Lynch told reporters that Shanahan had a broken nose, broken ribs, a couple of black eyes and a concussion.The injuries limited him at the start of 49ers training camp but the 46-year-old Shanahan says he has been feeling “so much better” since the crash.”I’m doing really good. My body feels good. Just got to get this annoying cast off. My ribs feel good, except when I sneeze, and my head feels so much better,” Shanahan told reporters after an Aug. 8 practice. “Concussions do linger a little bit. The only things I really deal with now are just headaches and fatigue. That’s why I’m not always exactly on the same routine, but pretty damn close.”Five days later, he’s expected to be on the sideline to start the 2026 season, even if it is just preseason.Shanahan is in his 10th season with the team. He has a regular season record of 82-46 and a 9-5 mark in the postseason.
