It took 11 days for the public to learn Kyle Shanahan had been involved in a car accident on July 14. But since the announcement Saturday, it hasn't taken long for more details to come out about the scary collision that will limit the San Francisco 49ers head coach for the start of training camp.

Specifically, more has been revealed about the injuries Shanahan suffered after ESPN already reported he broke his nose, three ribs and his hand, suffered a severe concussion and required more than 40 stitches.

On Monday, PFT Live's Chris Simms said Shanahan's wife sent him pictures of the injuries his friend suffered, and they showed Shanahan almost lost his eye too.

"When you first see it and it's fresh and some of the cuts are still wide open, it's jarring. It's jarring. He was this close to maybe losing his right eye. The scar is so big right here," Simms said, pointing at his eye.

Those aren't the only new details to trickle out.
