The Packers will have one less thing to worry about than, say, the Vikings.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters on Thursday that he has been vaccinated. This means he’s not subject to daily testing, and that he therefore won’t suddenly be unavailable to play — either because of a positive result or close contact with someone who is infected.
“It’s a personal decision,” Rodgers said, via Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “It’s an interesting issue.”
Interesting as it may be, Rodgers said he won’t criticize teammates who haven’t gotten vaccinated.
