Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss this weekend's game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a positive COVID-19 test. Ian Rapaport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network are reporting that Rodgers is unvaccinated, which is why he has already been ruled out.

This has set off a firestorm because back in August when Rodgers was asked if he was vaccinated, he claimed he was “immunized” and people assumed based off what he said that he had gotten the vaccine:

Aaron Rodgers also referenced unvaccinated teammates and said he wasn't going to judge them, which would also make one think he had gotten the shot:

However, there is a difference between being “immunized” and vaccinated:

Rapaport also reports that Rodgers has been following protocols for unvaccinated players while in the building for the Packers:

Some were wondering about Rodgers not wearing a mask on the sidelines, but apparently unvaccinated players who are active don't need to wear a mask:

There are a number of other protocols unvaccinated players must follow, though:

This seems to be a pretty sticky situation for Aaron Rodgers, the Packers and the NFL. While you could technically argue he didn't lie when he used the word “immunized” to answer the vaccination question, it's clear everybody thought he was answering in the affirmative that he got the shot. It also seems rather dubious that he has been actually following all these protocols for unvaccinated players.

Whatever the case, assuming now that he actually is unvaccinated, Rodgers is out at least 10 days because of this positive test. Not only will he miss the game against the Chiefs, but he could be in danger of missing the Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

This will be a situation to monitor, and we'll see how Aaron Rodgers explains himself.
