LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears are allowing safety Jonathan Owens to miss seven training camp practices so he can travel to the Olympic games and watch his wife, USA gymnast Simone Biles, compete in Paris.
Owens has excused absences July 29-Aug. 3 and is expected back at practice on Aug. 4. Women's gymnastics qualifying begins on July 28 where Biles will contend for four events: the all-around, vault, uneven bars and balance beam. Biles, a three-time Olympian, is the reigning all-around champion and has the top U.S. score on every event except uneven bars.
