The National Football League has fined the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Allen Lazard after a review showed the team and the two players violated league COVID-19 protocols.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed the Packers were fined $300,000, while Rodgers and Lazard each received fines of $14,650, in adherence to the discipline schedule negotiated by the league and the NFL Players Associations, CNN reports.
The NFL's review determined that Rodgers and Lazard each attended a Halloween party despite being unvaccinated, which violates the league's COVID-19 protocols prohibiting unvaccinated players from gathering outside of team facilities in groups of more than three individuals.
