• Bears' Jonathan Owens: Excels in second half of season

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Owens recorded five tackles (three solo) and recovered a fumble in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Owens was a non-factor through Week 11, when he had a total of three tackles. The safety moved into a regular role when teammate Elijah Hicks was injured. Once Hicks returned, Owens retained the starting job. In the last eight games, the veteran posted 46 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble. Owens is signed through 2025, and assuming he holds onto the starting role, he'll be a high-floor IDP.

• Bears' Jonathan Owens: Could be rotational player

  08/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Owens is likely to be Chicago's second-string free safety behind Kevin Byard after both players were signed to a contract in March. After the Bears signed Byard to a two-year, $15 million contract, it seems likely that Owens will back up Byard at free safety. Should Owens move into a regular role at some point, he could have significant IDP value after averaging 105 tackles over the past two seasons.

He finished the regular season with 84 tackles (58 solo), three pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery that Owens returned for a touchdown.

  Owens (knee) was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough. Owens has been dealing with a knee injury for more than a month, but the issue has yet to cost him any time. In fact, the starting safety has played every one of the Packers' defensive snaps since Week 13. With that in mind, it seems very likely that he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's wild-card game against the Cowboys, barring any setbacks.

Owens has been dealing with a lingering knee injury over the last couple of weeks, but it seems as if that issue won't stop him from suiting up Sunday. The 28-year-old has been all over the place for Green Bay's defense this year, and he'll look to add to his 78 total tackles on the season in a crucial Week 18 matchup against the Bears.
