Now the 49ers are set to face Lance as they take on the Chargers for their final preseason game. Though Lance didn't end up as the 49ers' franchise quarterback as they expected, coach Kyle Shanahan—who was a driving force in drafting Lance—is still rooting for Lance to succeed.

Before Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Trey Lance became one of the standout players of the ongoing preseason, he failed to cement himself as a long-term option for the San Francisco 49ers

Now he has a different breakdown: if starting from scratch, who would he hire as head coach? San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan or Los Angeles Chargers (and former 49ers) head coach Jim Harbaugh.

If you offer Kyle Shanahan some smelling salts then he's probably going to take a smell, he revealed to the media on Tuesday. And he's also not too concerned about his star tight endm and noted salts enthusiast, George Kittle doing what he needs to do in the wake of new league rules.

The NFL has finally realized that it doesn't make sense to provide smelling salts to players who may be using them to mask the symptoms of a concussion.

Kyle Shanahan shared an update on Mac Jones after the San Francisco 49ers quarterback sustained a knee injury against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The San Francisco 49ers may have to alter course on their plan to play starters in the preseason vs. the Las Vegas Raiders.

49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing did not practice Wednesday. Coach Kyle Shanahan said on KNBR that Cowing is dealing with the same lingering hamstring injury that sidelined him early in camp. “Yes, it is [the hamstring],” Shanahan said on the radio, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “ He felt it yesterday, so we had to hold him back today.”
