Shanahan Details 49ers' 5-Day Recovery After 27-7 Australia Win

Summary
Kyle Shanahan said he "felt like crap" through the weekend after San Francisco’s Week 1 trip to Australia and did not feel normal again until Monday.
The 49ers managed the return with a light workout Monday, a day off Tuesday and what Shanahan called a full reset by Wednesday — effectively Day 1 of the new week.
Some players adjusted immediately, but others needed several extra days after the 27-7 win over the Rams, underscoring how unusual the season-opening travel was.
De'Zhaun Stribling was the main injury setback from the trip: the rookie receiver has an ankle sprain, needs surgery and is expected to miss about 10 weeks.
San Francisco now turns to a Week 2 home game against Miami on Sept. 20, with the team hoping the extra recovery time has restored its normal routine.
