Aaron Rodgers won't be under center for the Green Bay Packers when the team travels to Arrowhead Stadium to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

A positive COVID-19 test will hold the league's reigning MVP out on Sunday, and Rodgers' availability to the Packers going forward is up in the air.

While it was revealed that Rodgers is unvaccinated he previously stated that he was “immunized” after being asked about his vaccination status during a preseason press conference. He claims he didn't lie.

This saga is the latest chapter in what has been a bizarre season for Green Bay and common football fans alike.
