Packers' Aaron Rodgers Says His Darkness Retreat Will Begin at End of This Week

Aaron Rodgers hasn't entered the darkness just yet.

"I'm not in my darkness retreat yet," he said during an appearance on Tuesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show. "This thing has been planned for about four months, and it was always the same dates. Always the end of this week."

His comments come after NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero previously reported he would start a four-day stay in isolation on Monday.

While the date was off, Rapoport and Pelissero noted the Green Bay Packers are honoring the quarterback's need to take some time to decide on his future while the relationship between the two sides "remains positive" with the team open to a return should he choose that path.
