Simone Biles’s NFL Husband Jonathan Owens Scarred on Face, Reveals Saddening Image After Green Bay Packers Game

Athletes take inherent risks given the competitive nature of sports. Although Simone Biles is no stranger to athletic threats, her husband plays a sport notorious for its bone-jarring collisions. Like walking a tightrope between pushing human limits and self-preservation, their lives balance on the edge. Owens’ career keeps him in Green Bay while Biles resides in Texas. Still, it’s the shared love of sports that binds their lives, even when apart.

The world eagerly waited for Biles’s transition from the gymnastics mats to American football grounds to support her husband. The 7-time Olympic medalist expressed her enthusiasm by saying, “Can’t wait to dress up for game days and watch my man.” Amidst the thrill, the inherent risks that players encounter injured Owens during the recent match.

Simone Biles supports Jonathan Owens through his painful days

Biles flew to Wisconsin in order to cheer on Owens during the exciting Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings football game. On October 29, Biles was in attendance at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The 4’8″ gymnast wore a customized jersey with her husband’s face and jersey number ’34’ in addition to the Packers’ green and gold print details.

Right after the match, Jonathan shared an Instagram story showing a deep, freshly sewn scar on his left cheek. With a serious face wearing Balenciaga’s blue jumper, the picture was clicked in the medical room.

While there was no mention of the Packers’ safety stitch count, it appeared that there were approximately eight stitches. At the outset, rookie defensive lineman Karl Brooks blocked Greg Joseph’s 44-yard field goal attempt, and Owens recovered the blocked kick, advancing the ball to the Green Bay 44-yard line. This displayed strong gameplay, which could have resulted in a win for the team if there had been more consistency.

But once more, a string of mistakes proved to be the Packers’ undoing. A sack on second down left Green Bay with a daunting distance to travel, and QB Jordan Love’s fourth-and-16 scramble attempt was only yards shy of completion. Coach Matt LaFleur expressed his severe regret, saying, “Plain and simple, we’re not winning. We’re losing games and it’s all games that we should be winning, I think.” He further added that he was “extremely disappointed.”

Packers vs. Vikings: Their history and present standings

Minnesota was able to square their record at 0.500 on Sunday, claiming their third straight victory. The current Packers-Vikings showdown was the first since 2006 in which both teams attended the game with losing records. As a result of their ongoing problem with sluggish starts, the Packers (2-5) lost for the fourth week in a row.

Green Bay has not scored a touchdown in the first half of any of their previous five games, giving up 73-9 first-half points. On the other hand, Minnesota led 10-3 at halftime, although their lead was primarily the result of their dominance in the first two quarters, despite the early deficit. However, early in the third quarter, the Vikings capitalized on their advantages and swiftly took command of the game.

This has now put added pressure on the Packers as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. But for Owens, tough times can be a tad easier to deal with because of the company of Biles who understands the highs and lows of an athlete, from near or afar. Meanwhile, the injury update on his Instagram, shouldn’t stop Owens from making his appearance in their game against the Los Angeles Rams on November 5. What do you think will happen?
