Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, a sixth-year backup player, is taking a five-day break from training camp to support his wife, Simone Biles, as she competes for the U.S. gymnastics team at the Paris Olympics. This decision has garnered widespread attention and support, with Owens expressing gratitude towards the Bears organization for allowing him to attend the Olympics.
Simone Biles, a decorated gymnast with multiple Olympic and world championship titles, is favored to win the team competition in Paris. If successful, it would mark the third consecutive Summer Games where a family member of a Bears player has won a medal.
