Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared a positive update on the condition of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s wife Mia on Wednesday.
Mia Bieniemy was shot multiple times at the family’s home in Virginia on Sunday and was admitted to the intensive care unit at a local hospital as a result of her injuries. The couple’s son was arrested and charged with multiple crimes as a result of the shooting.
“She’s doing great,” Reid said, via Nate Taylor of ESPN.com. “She’s doing better and great from where she was. [She’s] out of the ICU unit and making progress, so we’re happy about that.”
Eric Bieniemy has been away from the team since the incident and Reid said it’s not known when he might return.
“Eric’s a big part of this,” Reid said. “We love having him here, but it’s important that he takes care of business and everybody knows that. Eric will be back soon enough to jump in there and do his thing, but he’s got to take care of that first.”
Passing game coordinator Joe Bleymaier is handling the offensive coordinator duties in Bieniemy’s absence.
