Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers says he didn't lie, details decision to not get vaccinated​

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he did not lie when discussing his vaccination status, has followed almost all protocols for unvaccinated players and explained his reasoning for not getting one of the traditional COVID-19 vaccines before this season. Rodgers tested positive for COVID on Wednesday, is considered unvaccinated by the NFL and NFL Players Association and is in a 10-day minimum quarantine that will keep him out of the Green Bay Packers game Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs. When asked in August whether he was vaccinated, Rodgers said, "Yeah, I've been immunized." Rodgers, 37, said that because of his allergy, the only option for one of the approved vaccines was the Johnson & Johnson shot, which he said he was not comfortable taking because of reports of side effects.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, local health care provider end partnership amid COVID-19 vaccination controversy​

One day after Aaron Rodgers explained why he was unvaccinated and how he tried to gain fully vaccinated status because he received an alternate treatment in an attempt to give himself immunity from COVID-19, a Wisconsin-based health care organization announced the end of its partnership with the Green Bay Packers quarterback. Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and will miss Sunday's game at the Kansa City Chiefs. On Friday, during a 46-minute appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers said that an allergy to mRNA vaccines prevented him from getting two of the three approved vaccines and that he did not feel comfortable getting the other because of reactions that he had heard about. The use of that vaccine was briefly suspended earlier this year.

Executives from other NFL teams question uneven COVID-19 protocol standards for Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers​

Multiple coaches and front-office executives have complained that their teams apparently were held to different COVID-19 protocol standards over the summer than the Green Bay Packers. While the NFL instructed teams that unvaccinated players were required to wear masks along the sideline during preseason games, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not. One team executive said he received a memo from the NFL about the COVID-19 protocols that read, in part: "Any such individual with bench area access who is not fully vaccinated except for active players shall be required to wear masks at all times. Unvaccinated inactive players must also wear masks." Rodgers and the Packers are facing fines but no suspensions for potential protocol violations, according to a source.

Green Bay Packers activate QB Aaron Rodgers off reserve/COVID-19 list​

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and is able to play in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Rodgers remained asymptomatic from COVID-19 and was activated from the list after meeting the NFL/NFLPA return-to-play protocols. Rodgers concluded his 10-day quarantine required for unvaccinated players who test positive for the virus. Rodgers was not allowed back in the team facility until Saturday but indicated he had been working out on his own. During his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," he said Tuesday that he would ramp up his conditioning on his own as the week went on and said he believed there was only a "small possibility" that he would not play Sunday.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers doesn't practice because of toe injury but will play vs. Los Angeles Rams​

Keeping quarterback Aaron Rodgers off his fractured toe was more important to the Green Bay Packers this week than getting him on the practice field. That's how coach Matt LaFleur approached the lead-up to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams at Lambeau Field. Rodgers did not practice Friday, making him a nonparticipant all week. A week earlier, he at least got a few reps in the Friday practice leading up to last Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, a game in which Rodgers started slowly but was nearly unstoppable after halftime, leading touchdown drives on every second-half possession. Jordan Love handled all the practice snaps all week.

Rodgers hints his decision by tag deadline

Not only might Aaron Rodgers and Savants Adams be a package deal, but the timing on whether both will return to the Green Bay Packers could happen almost simultaneously. While Rodgers originally said he would likely have a decision by the time free agency begins, which is March 16, he offered the possibility that it could be even sooner. Rodgers gave few, if any, hints about which way he is leaning for the 2022 season. Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he met with Rodgers as part of the exit-interview process that happens after the season. It was not known whether Rodgers met with general manager Brian Gutekunst or team president Mark Murphy, but Rodgers was still in Green Bay as of Tuesday.

*Aaron Rodgers 'Thankful' for Green Bay Packers' response to issues last offseason, still undecided on future

^Click For Full Story^

Aaron Rodgers hasn't made a decision about whether he wants to return to the Green Bay Packers next season, but he made it clear that the animosity he felt toward the organization at this time last year is gone. After accepting his fourth career NFL MVP on Thursday at the NFL Honors in Los Angeles, Rodgers said he would decide what he wants to do in 2022, "in the near future, and I'm not gonna keep a lot of people waiting." When he finally ended his offseason holdout and reported for training camp in July, he detailed a list of grievances and said even though he returned to the team he wasn't certain how -- or even if -- his complaints would be addressed by team president Mark Murphy, vice president Russ Ball and general manager Brian Gutekunst.

*Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers wins second straight MVP, Cooper Kupp top offensive player

Aaron Rodgers had won MVPs before -- three times, in fact, before this season -- but he had never won them in consecutive seasons until Thursday night. Whether he goes for a third straight MVP and fifth overall with the Green Bay Packers or another team, or doesn't go for one at all and retires -- remains in question. Rodgers, 38, became the fifth player in NFL history to win the award in consecutive seasons, joining Manning, Brett Favre, Joe Montana and Jim Brown.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers explains Instagram post, says he hasn't made decision on whether to play in 2022​

A day after Aaron Rodgers set the NFL world into a frenzied speculation about his future because of a lengthy Instagram post, the Green Bay Packers quarterback said Tuesday that he did not have any news to report or a decision made about whether he will play in 2022. Instead, Rodgers attempted to explain on "The Pat McAfee Show" that his post -- hashtagged "Monday Night Night Gratitude" came at the end of a 12-day cleanse called Panchakarma, during which he spent time in a reflective state. "There's nothing cryptic about gratitude," Rodgers said.

QB Aaron Rodgers returning to play for Green Bay Packers​

The beautiful mystery tour will continue. Aaron Rodgers is not done with the Green Bay Packers just yet, and now there really is a chance the four-time NFL MVP will finish his career in the same place it started. Rodgers announced Tuesday on Twitter that he will return to the Packers for the 2022 season. Rodgers promised to avoid a lengthy decision-making process, and now general manager Brian Gutekunst -- once part of Rodgers' dissatisfaction with the organization -- can put together his plan to field another Super Bowl contender. Last season, Rodgers broke Favre's franchise record of 442 career touchdown passes, finishing the season with 449. Depending on how much longer he plays, Rodgers has a chance to break several of Favre's other records, including career passing yards. It means Jordan Love, who is entering his third NFL season, will have to wait at least another year before he gets a crack at the starting job. Rodgers sat for three seasons behind Brett Favre before he took over.

Aaron Rodgers: 'Definitely' will finish career with Green Bay Packers​

Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday he doesn't know how many more seasons he will play admitting that the three-year, $150 million contract extension he signed in March shouldn't be an indicator, but he knows where he will finish his career. Packers coach Matt LaFleur initially wasn't sure how much work he would give Rodgers on Tuesday, but after seeing that the reigning MVP was in good shape, he allowed Rodgers to take part in almost every drill, including some 11-on-11s that were at a jog-through speed. The Packers are coming off three straight 13-win seasons but failed to reach the Super Bowl in any of them, including two losses in the NFC Championship Game. And now Rodgers has to deal with life after Davante Adams, the All-Pro receiver who wanted out of Green Bay and was traded this offseason to the Las Vegas Raiders.
