Shanahan's injuries were described only as "non-life-threatening." The 49ers said Shanahan "will participate in team activities on a limited basis at the start of training camp while he recovers," and the organization "would like to sincerely thank all first responders involved for their efforts and care."
With Shanahan sidelined from full duty, assistant head coach and offensive line coach Chris Foerster will assume head coaching responsibilities alongside the team's coordinator. The 49ers were scheduled to hold their first training camp practice on Sunday under Foerster's direction, with coordinators Klay Kubiak, Raheem Morris, and Brant Boyer also sharing responsibilities in Shanahan's absence.
Shanahan is entering his 10th season as the 49ers' head coach, a tenure that has included two Super Bowl appearances, following the 2019 and 2023 seasons, and two additional NFC Championship Game appearances after the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He holds a 91-72 combined regular-season and playoff record with the team, ranking third in franchise history in career wins behind George Seifert's 108 and Bill Walsh's 102. Last season, San Francisco went 12-5 and won a playoff game despite significant injuries, a performance that helped Shanahan finish fifth in voting for the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year award.
The fundraiser stated that the family faces "overwhelming emotional and financial challenges, including mounting medical expenses," and that funds raised would "help ease the financial burden, allowing them to focus on healing and moving forward without the added stress of immediate expenses.”
The fundraiser has brought in over $100,000 toward a $200,000 goal.
Devey, 38, played college football at Snow College and the University of Memphis before going undrafted in 2013. He won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots before San Francisco acquired him in a 2015 trade, and he appeared in 15 games, starting nine, for the 49ers that season. He later played for the Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, and Buffalo Bills before retiring in 2021.
