Is Jonathan Owens playing today? What number Simone Biles' husband wears for Bears image

Jonathan Owens is just a middling safety for the Chicago Bears.

But he's as well-known as any such player in the NFL, because he's Simone Biles' husband. The legendary gymnast is his biggest supporter.

The Bears are the 2-seed in the NFC bracket in the playoffs that began on Saturday.

Owens is trying to help them chase a Super Bowl.

Is Jonathan Owens playing today?

Owens is healthy, active and suiting up for the Bears on Saturday.

He's not a huge player for the Bears, though.

During the regular season, he made just 19 total tackles. He didn't deflect or intercept a single pass.

The 30-year old is in his second season with the Bears. Last year, he had 49 tackles and an interception.

This season, Owens has moved into the second-string on the depth chart.

Jaquan Brisker and Kevin Byard start at safety for the Bears, so Owens doesn't get on the field a whole lot.
