Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has decided to clear the rumors that his injured toe was a complication caused by COVID-19.
The reigning MVP said he injured his foot during workouts at home while preparing to return to the Packers for their November 14 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
“I’m glad you asked just so I could show you the lesions of my foot here, so if I have enough room on this camera, let me see if I can,” Rodgers said as he lifted his left foot in front of the camera during his Zoom news conference. “Oh, oh there’s no lesions whatsoever. Oh, what a surprise. No, that’s actually called disinformation when you perpetuate false information about an individual. I have a fractured toe.”
The 37-year-old expected an apology from the Wall Street Journal for their false allegation of him suffering from a “COVID toe,” saying that “That was very, very interesting, but no I had never heard of COVID toe before. (Pat McAfee) made a joke about it on the show, and I mentioned yesterday that it’s worse than a turf toe and it must be a bone issue.”
Rodgers did not participate in Wednesday’s practice session, and Packers coach Matt LaFleur has not confirmed if Rodgers will play against the Rams this Sunday.
“Certainly we’ll handle it day by day, but a lot of it’s just going to be on how he’s feeling,” LaFleur said.

100% tone deaf. For @AaronRodgers12 to be so self-righteous & condescending about "disinformation" after spreading lies about HIS vaccination status? He's been a #misinformation machine (ivermectin, homeopathy). Embarrassment for @packers. https://espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32708180/green-bay-packers-aaron-rodgers-says-toe-fractured-puts-bare-foot-front-camera-clear-covid-toe-disinformation… @RobDemovsky
Is Packers QB Aaron Rodgers suffering from 'COVID toe' condition? #Yardbarker #NFL
Seriously what the fuck is a COVID toe? Is Rodgers this dumb he feels the need to say something so ridiculously stupid all because he was busted for lying about his vaccine status?
QB Rodgers says he has fracture, not 'COVID toe' http://dlvr.it/SD843C
I fractured a pinkie toe at practice one day. The next day, I fractured the other pinkie toe. It really evened out my limp.
Toevid, real or fake? Best ESPN headline of 2021. #Toevid
So it's not covid toe, but covid bone syndrome?
"Rodgers assured Packers fans he was getting the best possible care for his injury, as prescribed by someone who is definitely not Joe Rogan, why would you even ask that?"
