The gymnast hails from the town, which is a suburb of Houston. Owens previously played for the Houston Texans from 2019-2022 before spending time with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears."This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life. especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices," she said.She continued by saying that she has "been in bed resting this week" and added that she will "explain sooner or later" what happened.She also posted another photo of herself in bed with her two dogs, saying, "i'll be here."Biles won four medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, including three gold.
