Over a day after the news of Owens’ signing made waves, the Chicago Bears took to X to confirm the status. “We have agreed to terms with Jonathan Owens,” the team posted on the platform. Considering the spotlight Owens has held with Simone Biles, they also ensured to welcome the two to the family together. Both the athletes reshared the post while Owens sent across a message on his readiness, writing, “Let’s work.”

Jonathan Owens had started 11 of the total 17 games he played for the Packers last season. He further recorded 84 tackles, three pass breakups, and a career-first touchdown in a win against the Detroit Lions.
