Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers cleared the confusion surrounding the injury that plagued him in Sunday’s 34-31 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. According to Rodgers, he is dealing with a fractured pinkie toe but doesn’t expect to miss any time because of it.

During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers and host Pat McAfee discussed the injury and jokingly referred to it as “COVID toe”. The reigning NFL MVP previously spent ten days in quarantine, having tested positive on coronavirus. The joke quickly took a life of its own, and several media outlets reported it as a fact.

Seeing that things got out of hand, Rodgers decided to set everything straight during a news conference on Wednesday. He even showed his toe to the reporters on camera to make his point.

“Oh, oh there’s no lesions whatsoever. Oh, what a surprise,” Rodgers said. “No, that’s actually called disinformation when you perpetuate false information about an individual. I have a fractured toe.”

Rodgers explained that he is looking into various options to deal with the injury, with one of them being surgery during Green Bay’s bye week.

“I’ll definitely look at all options over the bye and decide what would be best to make sure that I get to the finish line,” he added.

Despite the injury, Rodgers delivered a stellar performance against the Vikings. He completed almost 70 percent of his passes while throwing for 385 yards and four touchdowns.

The Packers are currently sitting first in NFC North with an 8-3 record. They are set to play the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have managed to settle their differences, at least for the time being. Rodgers, who submitted a trade request in the offseason, joined the team for a training camp earlier this week and is expected to play for the organization in the 2021 NFL season.

According to multiple reports, Rodgers only decided to rejoin the team after the Packers offered him several concessions. This included voiding the final year of his contract and pleading to revisit his situation after the season ends.

Rodgers finished the 2020 NFL season winning the NFL MVP Award and leading the Packers to the NFC Championship Game for the second year in a row. But shortly after the season ended, the 37-year-old superstar made a shocking trade request. He was reportedly unhappy with some of the decision making including Green Bay trading up to draft QB Jordan Love in the first round.

But despite Rodger’s unhappiness, the Packers remained firm in their decision to keep their star QB. They rejected multiple trade proposals for Rodgers, and general manager Brian Gutekunst and president Mark Murphy instead made efforts to repair the broken relationship.

One of the attempts included offering Rodgers a new contract that would make him the highest-paid player in football. However, Rodgers rejected the proposal and was reportedly willing to sit out the year if he wasn’t moved. He also opted to skip all the team’s offseason activities.

Finally, the two sides made progress late last week when Packers offered Rodgers various concessions in order to lure him back. The agreement between the two sides is that they will ride out this year together and then decide on the future once the 2021 season wraps up.

It appears that Aaron Rodgers hasn’t changed his mind about wanting out of Green Bay. According to multiple reports, Rodgers was not present at the start of the Packers’ recent organized team activities.

Rodgers, who asked Packers to trade him earlier in the year, also missed the Packers’ previous offseason activities. The 37-year-old veteran won’t receive a fine for his absence as the OTAs are voluntary, but he will miss out on a $500k offseason workout bonus.

It is important to note that missing out on OTAs is something new for Rodgers, as he was a regular participant in the past seasons.

The first mandatory appearance that Aaron Rodgers has to make at the Packers’ facilities is a mandatory minicamp that takes place from June 8th to June 10th. In case Rodgers skips that one, too, he will be issued a fine of around $100k. The fines increase to $50k per day if he holds out during training camp.

Despite winning the 2020 NFL MVP Award and leading Green Bay to the NFC Championship finals, Rodgers is reportedly disgruntled with the Packers’ front office and is determined to force a trade. There are several things that caused the rift between the Packers and their star QB, including Green Bay’s decision to use their first-round pick in 2019 on Rodgers’ successor.

Rodgers already handed the Packers list of teams that he wants to join. It includes the San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Denver Broncos.

Green Bay, on the other hand, still refuses to engage in any serious talks about Rodgers. Both team president Mark Murphy and general manager Brian Gutekunst said in recent media appearances that the organization has no intention of trading their best player.
