Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID and is now out of the Packers’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday.
Rodgers tested positive yesterday and told teammates he’d be missing Sunday’s game.
An NFL Network reporter added the quarterback is not vaccinated and that’s why he’s already been ruled out of the game.
** In August, a reporter in Green Bay asked him if he had been vaccinated for COVID-19. He answered by saying, in part: “Yeah, I’ve been immunized.”
According to ESPN, Rodgers pursued an alternative treatment and then petitioned the NFL to recognize him as vaccinated. The NFL refused, citing the clear language of the NFL-NFLPA agreement reached this summer.
** Backup quarterback Jordan Love is expected to start Sunday in Rodgers’ place.
The Packers have been rocked by COVID recently, just last week, they were without top wideouts Davante Adams and Allen Lazard due to positive tests.
