San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has yet to miss a practice this training camp while he recovers from a July 14 car accident in Palo Alto for which he ultimately took responsibility . He consistently shows up midway through, staying a little bit longer each time. Friday was his longest stint as an observer.
He watched for over an hour, scribbling notes between snaps, then jogged to the post-practice huddle to listen from the outskirts.
At one point Shanahan also found himself no more than 10 yards from the loud music being pumped from a practice speaker during a situational red-zone team period, after typically standing a much more comfortable distance from the speaker on the adjacent field in previous practices. He told a small group of reporters earlier this week the music had been "killing" him as he recovers from serious concussion symptoms. Friday was perhaps a sign of progress that he could brave the proximity for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
"He's there with us when we watch our tape after practice, and he's Kyle to me," said acting head coach Chris Foerster.
"I think he's challenging himself and pushing himself. I see him every day. I think he stays a little bit more, or tries to. I'm not sure (of) the whole routine. But I see Kyle being Kyle a whole lot right now."
Foerster added that Shanahan has been involved with the post-practice film study held among the coaching staff since training camp began.
"We do come in after practice, and the very first day of practice, Kyle was in there and ran the tape and we went through it and he seems pretty good," Foerster said. "Maybe minus as many ribbings and jokes as he tries to get me with or something like that, but for the most part it's pretty straightforward correcting the tape, and he's really good."
