Quarterback Aaron Rodgers tests positive for COVID-19

Green Bay Packers QB to miss upcoming game

U.S. (KYMA, KECY) - Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has tested positive for COVID-19, sources say.

The team was set to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, November 7, but may have to do so without Rodgers, who has been unvaccinated since the start of the season.

If Rodgers remains asymptomatic for 10 days then he may return on November 13 at the earliest.

"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," began Rodgers in a statement earlier in the year. "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."

Rodgers said he underwent alternate treatment, which the NFL didn't consider as proper vaccination.

"I think I like to learn about everything that I'm doing, and there was a lot of research that even went into that," continued Rodgers. "But like I said, there's been people that have tested positive, and I think it's only vaccinated people here. It's going to be interesting to see how things work moving forward
