“So, all that stuff was just crazy to see,” he added.
While Shanahan has yet to speak on the crash, Simms did reveal some of what he is feeling at the moment.
“He was emotional about it because he realized how close it was to being just a complete, you know, utter disaster,” Simms, who mentioned the other driver was a woman, said.“Like, really, it was a disaster anyways.But, when you’re a part of that accident, like I said, he could have lost his right eye.It could have been a lot worse.You know, he’s very concerned about the woman he got in the accident with and how she is and handling that situation.So there’s just a lot there.And I think it was a lot for him to process.”
Shanahan was spotted at 49ers training camp on Sunday, where his face was masked by a baseball hat and sunglasses.
GM John Lynch also noted that, “Kyle basically is going to be like in the protocol,” in reference to his concussion.Simms said it is giving him “some issues” he must deal with through the healing process.
