Jonathan Owens is thankful to the Bears' organization for allowing him to support wife and gymnastics phenom Simone Biles in person at the Paris Olympics.
Most NFL players wouldn't take five days off during the peak of job battles at training camp. Then again, most NFL players aren't Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens. The sixth-year backup is taking the time away to watch his wife, Simone Biles, compete for the U.S. gymnastics team at the Paris Olympics. 'Man, it's crazy,' Owens said. 'It's like everyone's a gymnastics fan now.
'Guys are just being super supportive, you know?' Owens said. 'It's super dope. They're asking, bring some souvenirs back. That's what they're asking.' Owens and Biles married last year. This is his first chance to see Biles compete in person at the Olympics because the 2020 games were postponed a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and then there were no fans allowed at Tokyo venues.
