It will also be the first time Owens can attend the Olympics in person to watch his wife. COVID-19 restrictions during the Toyko Olympics in 2021 prevented Owens from seeing Biles, who pulled out of the women’s team final and four individual finals after that due to a case of the "twisties," where a gymnast’s body and mind are out of sync. The twisties are gone for Biles, who has publicly acknowledged battling her mental block. Not only is she expected to medal in this year’s Olympics, but many believe she should take gold in Paris because of how dominant she’s been over the past year. As for Owens, he will be battling for a roster spot with his third NFL team after signing a two-year, $4.75 million contract with the Bears. In 17 games with the Green Bay Packers last season, Owens registered 84 combined tackles, one fumble recovery for a touchdown, one sack and three passes defended. His first four seasons in the NFL were with the Houston Texans, which he joined as an undrafted free agent in 2019.
