What happened: Monday’s return ended an absence that began July 27. The offensive coordinator had stepped away to attend to a family matter.
Why it matters: Kansas City regains its lead offensive coach during preseason installation work. Joe Bleymaier and Andy Heck had divided his duties while he was away.
By the numbers: Bieniemy spent 10 seasons on Kansas City’s staff from 2013-22, including five as offensive coordinator.
What to watch: Watch whether Bieniemy immediately resumes his full workload at the Chiefs’ next practice.
