Aaron Rodgers Holds Press Conference via Zoom After Packers Win

Aaron Rodgers had a pretty successful return to football on Sunday afternoon, as his Packers knocked off Russell Wilson and the Seahawks 17–0.

Rodgers missed last week's game after testing positive for COVID-19, and the consequent revelation that he is unvaccinated. Among the controversies stemming from the positive test was that Rodgers held previous press conferences in-person with the media. He told reporters that he was "immunized" against the virus in August.

Rodgers was fined $14,650 for a violation of COVID-19 protocols, for attending a team Halloween party. The Packers were hit with a $300,000 fine for the breach of protocols, including Rodgers's unmasked press conferences.
