Packers activate Aaron Rodgers from COVID list

Aaron Rodgers missed the Packers’ game last week while making the wrong kind of headlines but he’s now been activated off the COVID list for Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers had to wage war with the Chiefs last week without quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the field after the unvaccinated reigning NFL MVP tested positive for COVID.

He, of course, remained in the headlines throughout the week after his unvaccinated status came to light and his comments around the COVID vaccine made headlines throughout the week leading up to the game and thereafter as well.

But now, it’s time for Rodgers to get back on the field as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Packers activated their star quarterback off of the COVID list.

Will Aaron Rodgers play in Week 10 vs. Seahawks?

As Schefter mentioned, this means. Aaron Rodgers will take the field and line up under center for the Packers in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Incidentally, Rodgers and Green Bay will be playing a Seattle team that’s getting their own superstar quarterback, Russell Wilson, back on Sunday after he was activated from IR since recovering from a finger injury that required surgery.

The Packers got an up-close look at their 2020 first-round pick, Jordan Love, as the starter last week with Rodgers out of the lineup and, let’s just say that Green Bay is likely thankful that they don’t have to go with that for the second straight game.

Now, as he was just activated, you do have to wonder if there will be any rust for Rodgers or what the team’s reaction to him will be given all the headlines he created. But if we’re just looking at what the Pack looked like with and without him, the franchise and fan base is surely grateful he’ll be back on the field.
