Mia Bieniemy Out of ICU as Eric Bieniemy Misses Chiefs’ First Full-Squad Workout

The Kansas City Chiefs conducted their first full-squad training camp workout on Wednesday while offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy remained away from the team after a shooting at his Virginia home last weekend. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said after the session that Mia Bieniemy had been released from the intensive care unit, where she had been treated for multiple gunshot wounds.

Eric Bieniemy did not attend the workout, staying with his family as the situation at their home remains unresolved. The incident, which authorities say involved the couple’s son, Elijah Bieniemy, resulted in his arrest and charges related to the matter. Reid confirmed Mia’s transfer out of intensive care but provided no timetable for when Eric would rejoin the coaching staff at camp.

The full-squad session marked a key early milestone in the Chiefs’ training camp schedule, with coaches and players present for the team’s first comprehensive on-field work of the preseason period. Bieniemy’s absence was noted immediately by staff and players, although coaches conducted the workout in his stead. Reid offered the update to reporters following the practice, relaying the news about Mia’s condition and acknowledging the family’s need for privacy.

Details released by the team made clear that Mia Bieniemy had been hospitalized and treated for multiple gunshot wounds before being moved out of the ICU. No further medical specifics were provided by the Chiefs or by Reid in his comments after the Wednesday workout. The organization has not set a date for Eric Bieniemy’s return to team activities and described the situation as a family matter requiring his attention.

Law enforcement action was taken in the days after the shooting at the Bieniemy family residence in Virginia; Elijah Bieniemy was arrested and charged in connection with the incident. The club did not comment on any ongoing legal proceedings, and coaches limited their public remarks to the health update and the coordinator’s absence from camp. The team’s priority, according to Reid’s statements, remains both the safety of those involved and the operational needs of the roster during training camp.

While the Chiefs continued with their preparations on the field, key figures around the franchise emphasized stability in coaching and player development amid the off-field disruption. No schedule has been announced for Eric Bieniemy’s return to the team, and the organization continues to monitor the situation involving his family.
