The Packers star quarterback tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Sunday's game against the Chiefs because he's reportedly unvaccinated. Jordan Love, the Utah State product, will fill in at quarterback with Blake Bortles backing him up. Aaron Rodgers will be eligible to return Nov. 13, the day before the Packers face the Seahawks at home in Week 10. 

 

In late August, the 37-year-old quarterback was asked if he had been vaccinated and he responded that he's "immunized." He reportedly received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor, but the league, the NFLPA and a panel of doctors did not make an exception to his status. If he was vaccinated, he would be eligible to return after testing negative for two consecutive days.

 

Davante Adams, the star Packers wide receiver, was placed on the COVID reserve list on Oct. 25 and is expected to return to practice Thursday. Adams missed the Oct. 28 win over the Cardinals and the Packers had 184 passing yards.
