49ers players voted on Saturday, and the captains were announced to the team on Monday.
"There's seven of them. I think last year, we had five," Shanahan said. "They changed the rules. We're allowed to have eight this year. ... Room for one more, if we decide to go that way."
San Francisco will kick off the regular season on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Stadium.
