A judge granted a competency evaluation Thursday for 27-year-old Elijah Bieniemy, the son of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Motions filed by Elijah Bieniemy's public defender say he suffers from "significant mental health issues." Bieniemy’s attorney filed two motions: a request for a mental health evaluation and a motion for a competency evaluation. In court, Bieniemy’s attorney withdrew the mental health evaluation and the judge granted the competency evaluation. His father, Eric Bieniemy, spent the 2023 season with the Washington Commanders as the team's offensive coordinator and assistant head coach.
