Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy has returned to the team's training camp with his wife's support, after she survived being shot at their Virginia home. He had left the Chiefs following the shooting to be with his family, and his return signals that the immediate crisis has stabilised even as the case against his son continues.

Mia Bieniemy was found with multiple gunshot wounds on 26 July at the couple's home in Ashburn, Virginia, and is now reported to be in stable condition. Her son, 27-year-old Elijah Bieniemy, has been charged in connection with the shooting. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid publicly expressed support for the family, and Eric Bieniemy has now rejoined camp after his wife gave her "blessing" for him to do so.
