The 37-year-old Rodgers will definitely miss the top game of the professional league next Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, the duel with his fellow quarterback Patrick Mahomes is canceled.
According to NFL information, Rodgers - currently the league's most valuable player (MVP) - is not vaccinated against Corona and must therefore be quarantined for at least ten days according to the Covid-19 protocol.
