Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Tests Positive for Covid-19

INTERNATIONAL: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been placed on the NFL's reserve or COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Multiple media outlets reported that the league's reigning MVP had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The NFL Network reported that Rodgers has not been vaccinated. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he did not know how long Rodgers would be out, adding that backup quarterback Jordan Love is likely to start in his place. Under league regulations, players who are unvaccinated and test positive for the novel coronavirus must quarantine for a minimum of 10 days.

When asked by reporters in August if he was vaccinated, Rodgers responded, "Yeah, I've been immunized. You know there's a lot of conversation around the league and a lot of guys who have made statements and not made statements. Owners who have made statements. There’re guys on the team that haven't been vaccinated. I think it's a personal decision."

In a statement, the NFL said the enforcement of COVID protocols within club facilities rests with each club and that failure to do so has resulted in discipline being assessed against teams in the past.

Rodgers has previously sought and was denied an exemption from the NFL-NFLPA's COVID-19 protocols based on his antibody levels this summer after he received homeopathic treatment to raise those levels.
