“Just because we respect the Olympics,” Eberflus, 54, said, according toESPN. “That is a big deal. And he’s just supporting the one he loves the most. And I think that’s so cool that he gets to do that.”

He added: “We welcome that, and it’s going to be awesome. Go USA.”

Normally, NFL players are required to attend all training camp sessions ahead of the new football season, but the Bears made a rare expectation and excused Owens from seven upcoming preseason practices at the camp in Lake Forest, Ill.
