Is playing for packers today:

It has been a dramatic week for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After the attention was on who the Packers would potentially acquire at the trade deadline, the focus turned to the QB himself on Wednesday. Let’s take a look at why Rodgers will not be on the field against the Kansas City Chiefs this week.

Rodgers’ absence means that second-year QB Jordan Love will get his first start in the NFL against the Chiefs. Love has played in preseason games ahead of the 2021 season but has limited regular-season snaps. He took 15 snaps in the Packers’ Week 1 blowout loss to the Saints before taking 3 more — all kneel-downs — in their Week 2 win over the Lions. His career numbers are 5-for-7 for 68 yards with 1 sack.

Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday. The QB later discussed how he had some symptoms on Tuesday but was over them by the end of the week. News then came out that Rodgers is unvaccinated, which means he has to miss a mandatory 10 days under the current COVID-19 NFL-NFLPA protocols.

That mandatory period means that Rodgers must miss the game against Kansas City and will not be able to practice next week. He should be eligible to return the day before the Packers take on the Seahawks in Week 10.

The Packers selected Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Green Bay gave up a first and fourth-round selection to acquire the 26th overall pick from the Miami Dolphins. The selection caused controversy, and many considered it a major reason Rodgers asked the Packers to trade him this offseason.
