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

Packers' Jonathan Owens: Estimated as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
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 (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Owens has battled a knee injury for about two weeks, though he's been able to play and log every one of Green Bay's defensive snaps in both games since the issue arose. The injury hasn't seemed to slow him down, as the safety tied a season high with 12 snaps Sunday versus Tampa Bay. Unless he suffers a setback, Owens should be able to suit up this coming Sunday in Carolina.

Packers' Jonathan Owens: Leading tackler vs. Bucs
Rotowire
Owens recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 34-20 loss versus the Buccaneers.
Owens' tackle total was good enough to tie for his season high in Week 15. He's had a down year compared to last season with Houston, but he still has a nose for the ball-carrier and plays relatively well downhill. The Packers will travel to Carolina in Week 16.

Rotowire
An initial diagnosis revealed Owens suffered a dislocated wrist during Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
While the initial diagnosis revealed a dislocated wrist, Owens' MRI results will likely provide more clarity about his status moving forward. If he's unable to suit up for the last game of the season, A.J. Moore would presumably be in line for increased snaps against the Titans.
