Well, uh, this is pretty awkward.
Aaron Rodgers is reportedly out this Sunday when the Packers play the Chiefs after he tested positive for COVID-19.
That led to a whole bunch of questions about Rodgers’ status for Sunday and how we actually got here. Per the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols, had he tested positive for COVID but was vaccinated, there was a legitimate shot that he might be able to play on Sunday. All he’d need to do is test negative consecutively and be asymptomatic.
But NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Rodgers as straight up out on Sunday against the Chiefs. Not questionable. Not doubtful. Just out.
Sources: #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for Sunday’s game against the #Chiefs.

This led to the questions about whether Rodgers is actually vaccinated or not, which he seemed to indicate was the case to reporters back in August.
Now, it looks like Rodgers may have been lying. Or, at the very least, misleading people with his language. None of it looks good.
It’s a lot to keep up with, I know. So here’s a quick breakdown of what Rodgers has said, where we stand today and the questions we have moving forward.
