Chiefs' Eric Bieniemy Returns to Practice After Wife's Shooting at Their Virginia Home
The Chiefs said Bieniemy resumed work as the offense seeks stability after he missed two weeks to support his wife’s recovery.
- On Monday, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy returned to practice for the first time since his wife, Mia Bieniemy, was shot at their Virginia home on July 26.
- The July 26 shooting at the family's Ashburn, Virginia, home resulted in serious injuries to Mia; the couple's 27-year-old son, Elijah Bieniemy, was arrested on three felony charges including malicious wounding and firearm offenses.
- Despite his two-week absence, Bieniemy remained engaged by meeting via Zoom and streaming practices. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes noted that Bieniemy's presence would be welcomed by players when he returned.
- Head coach Andy Reid reported that Mia is 'doing better' after being released from the ICU. The team posted 'Happy to have EB back' on social media Monday.
- With Bieniemy comfortable working with core players like Mahomes and Travis Kelce, the Chiefs enter 2026 positioned to compete. Returning to the field provides therapeutic value for Bieniemy as his family navigates the ongoing legal situation.
