Kyle Shanahan faced serious eye injury risk in car crash

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan narrowly avoided losing an eye after a high‑speed car collision earlier this month. The crash caused severe trauma around his eye socket, prompting immediate medical attention.

Close friend and former NFL quarterback Chris Simms revealed the incident on social media, confirming Shanahan’s condition is stable. Shanahan is now focusing on recovery while temporarily delegating his coaching duties.
