Eric Bieniemy was present earlier Sunday at the Chiefs' training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, but was reportedly away from the team following the incident, according to USA Today Sports.
The Chiefs issued a brief statement to ESPN acknowledging awareness of the incident involving Bieniemy's family and expressing thoughts and prayers without further comment.

Our thoughts and prayers are with them."
Bieniemy returned to the Chiefs in 2026 as offensive coordinator after previously holding the role from 2018 to 2022.
He spent the 2023 season with the Washington Commanders and then coached running backs for the Chicago Bears in 2025.
In an interview with USA Today Sports published Monday morning, Bieniemy expressed readiness and focus on the team despite personal challenges.
"It was hard to pass up when the head man picks up the phone and says, 'B, let's get this thing going,'" Bieniemy said.
