Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to skip next Sunday's game.

Rodgers reportedly tested positive Wednesday for COVID-19 but has yet to confirm the news.

"Sources: #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for Sunday’s game against the #Chiefs," reporter Tom Pelissero tweeted.

In an interview in August, when asked about his vaccination status, Rodgers said he was "immunized" against COVID-19 and didn't want to judge those who hadn't been vaccinated.

That led people to assume he was vaccinated.

However, since news of his diagnosis broke Wednesday, it has been reported the quarterback sought an exemption from the NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocols, citing alternative homeopathic treatment he received from his personal doctor to raise his antibody levels.

That request was reportedly denied, and he has been treated as an unvaccinated player since.

The Packers were not able to confirm to the Washington Examiner that Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19.

The news comes days after wide receiver Allen Lazard was removed from the team's reserve/COVID-19 list.

While the Packers had a bad start to this season, losing the first game to the New Orleans Saints, the team has rebounded and has won the last seven games.
