Owens recorded five tackles and a recovered fumble in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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 game, 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.

Owens tallied eight stops in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Owens had been subbing in for teammate Elijah Hicks, who was inactive in Weeks 12-14. However, since Hicks returned in Week 15, Owens has remained in the lead role at strong safety. In each of the last five games, Owens has posted between six and eight tackles. As long as Owens hangs onto the starting job, he'll remain a high-floor IDP.

Owens tallied seven stops and an interception in the Bears' 38-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Owens has now recorded seven or eight tackles in each of the three games the veteran has taken over for the injured Elijah Hicks (ankle). As long as Owens is needed in the starting lineup, he'll remain a plug-and-play IDP option.

Owens posted eight tackles in the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Owens barely saw the field through Week 11, but the veteran moved into a full-time role over the last two games while Elijah Hicks (ankle) missed time. The safety now has back-to-back games with eight tackles. If Hicks continues to miss time, Owens would remain an excellent IDP streamer.

Owens is likely to be Chicago's second-string free safety behind Kevin Byard after both players were signed to a contract in March.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Bears are in line to sign Owens to a two-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Owens spent one season with Green Bay after four in Houston. With the Packers, Owens appeared in all 17 games (11 starts), finishing with 84 tackles (58 solo), three pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Owens will likely serve as Chicago's third safety behind Jaquan Brisker and fellow newcomer Kevin Byard.

Owens recorded 84 tackles (58 solo), a sack, three pass deflections, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a touchdown over 17 games in the 2023 season.

EDGE Analysis

Owens was not quite as involved in his first season with Green Bay as he was in his final season with Houston, but he still wound up starting 11 games and finishing third among Packers in total tackles. He signed a one-year deal with the team last offseason, so it remains to be seen who he will be suiting up for when the 2024 campaign gets underway.

Owens (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Owens has been dealing with this knee issue for over a month now, and it seems as if he'll be able to play through the pain once again Sunday. The 28-year-old has been having one of the best seasons of his career in his first year in Green Bay, recording 84 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and one additional tackle for loss, while also deflecting three passes in 17 games.

Owens (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Owens was estimated as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough. He's been dealing with the knee issue for weeks but has yet to miss a game. Owens played 70 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps this season, starting in 11 of 17 appearances. 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.

EDGE Analysis

Owens has been dealing with a knee injury for over 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.
