According to Fox's Jay Glazer, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not be suspended for lying about being vaccinated against COVID-19. Earlier this year, during training camp, Rodgers said to the media that he was “immunized.” It was taken by the media and the general public that “immunized” meant vaccinated against COVID-19.

That assumption was wrong.

As it turns out, Rodgers is not actually vaccinated. He has contracted COVID-19, and to make matters worse, there have been multiple instances of an unmasked Rodgers walking around team facilities. This would be OK—if he was vaccinated. But since he is not, that means he has not been following the rules set by the city of Green Bay, the NFL, and the NFLPA with regards to unvaccinated players.

The league has the discretion to suspend players based on situations like this, but according to Glazer via Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, that will not be the plan:

Letting Aaron Rodgers get away with what he did can easily set a bad precedent for the league as it would seem like the NFL is waffling to one of its highest-profile stars. You never know what is going on behind the scenes, however, so there could be more information that the league and the team/player are not giving us.

For now, though, Green Bay fans rest easy knowing that once Rodgers clears the COVID-19 protocols, he will be back on the field wearing green and yellow. In the meantime, they get to take a look at their possible future QB in Jordan Love, as it will take Rodgers at least 10 days to be cleared for a return to the field for the Packers.
