Packers’ Rodgers Tests Positive for COVID, Will Miss Kansas City Game, According to Reports

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has tested positive for COVID and will not play in this weekend’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to ESPN. 

It was unclear as of Wednesday morning whether Rodgers is vaccinated against COVID-19, but the reigning NFL MVP said this past August that he was "immunized" when asked about his vaccination status, ESPN reported 

"You know, there's a lot of conversation around it, around the league, and a lot of guys who have made statements and not made statements, owners who have made statements," Rodgers said at the time. "There's guys on the team that haven't been vaccinated.”

“I think it's a personal decision. I'm not going to judge those guys,” he added. “There are guys that've been vaccinated that have contracted COVID. It's an interesting issue that I think we're going to see played out the entire season."

Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network reported that Rodgers is unvaccinated against the virus, meaning he will miss a minimum of ten days.

The Packers’ Jordan Love is now in line to make his first career start against Kansas City in Rodgers' absence.
