Aaron Rodgers Makes Tasteless COVID Injury Joke: ‘Can’t Confirm or Deny Any of the Reports’

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned from his bout against COVID-19 to take on the Seahawks this past Sunday. Rodgers was previously on the COVID list, however there was another injury that showed up on the Packers QB’s injury report. Rodgers was listed on the injury report with a toe injury.

Rodgers was asked about his toe injury during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” The reigning NFL MVP blamed COVID for his toe injury, clearly joking but didn’t want to elaborate on the injury.

Watch below:

What happened to the toe Aaron??

He must think this is a joke.

This guy for such a talent (best I have ever seen) is ridiculously silly for these covid takes.

Couldn’t provide a simple explanation, even if it’s a lie?

Why is everything such a mystery/not straightforward with 12? Tiring.

Joking about COVID isn’t really that funny considering how many have died from it.

For those not taking it seriously, just pray nothing bad happens to you or your loved ones.
