Bears Allow Owens to Attend Paris Olympics

Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens will take time off from training camp to support his wife, Simone Biles, at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Biles secured her spot on her third Olympic team after a stellar performance at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Minneapolis. Owens expressed immense pride and excitement on social media, sharing photos and heartfelt messages celebrating Biles' achievement. This will be the first time Owens can watch Biles compete in the Olympics in person, as previous games either predated their relationship or were held without spectators due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Bears have granted Owens a brief excused absence to attend, highlighting the couple's commitment to supporting each other's careers despite their demanding schedules.
