The Colts on Tuesday signed veteran safety Jonathan Owens.

The 5-foot-11, 214 pound Owens is entering his eighth season in the NFL after spending time with the Houston Texans (2019-2022), Green Bay Packers (2023) and Chicago Bears (2024-2025). Over 82 games (35 starts), the 30-year-old Owens has two interceptions, eight pass break-ups, two forced fumbles, two sacks, three tackles for a loss and 295 tackles.

Owens has played 2,401 snaps on defense and 990 snaps on special teams in his career. He's played at least 230 snaps on special teams in each of the last three seasons, including a career high 264 in 2025 with the Bears. Owens in 2024 returned a block punt for a touchdown to help the Bears beat the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.

Owens is married to 11-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles, who's the most decorated gymnast in history.
