Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s wife, Mia Bieniemy, is in stable condition after she was shot on Sunday night, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid told reporters after Monday’s practice.
Eric Bieniemy has departed the team to be with his wife in Virginia. Reid said there is currently no timetable for Bieniemy’s return.
“Our hearts go out to Eric Bieniemy,” Reid said, via Nate Taylor of ESPN. “Mia is stable, which is a plus. ... We all love EB and you hate seeing those things happen. ... Real life. You take care of that. She’s a saint, one of God’s good blessings. But things happen.”
While Bieniemy is away from the team, pass game coordinator Joe Bleymaier will handle the offensive coordinator duties.
Bleymaier has been with the Chiefs since 2016 and has served in his current role since 2023.
Bieniemy’s son, Elijah, was arrested and charged in the shooting. Elijah Bieniemy is being held without bond and the investigation is ongoing.
