Aaron Rodgers is set to make his return on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers star quarterback missed last week’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, after testing positive for COVID-19.

Rodgers, who said he had been “immunized,” is actually not vaccinated. The Packers quarterback had been conducting inside press conferences with reporters while not wearing a mask.

That’s about to change.

From the report:

Per multiple reports, Rodgers will conduct his post-game press conference by Zoom.

That will exempt Rodgers from having to wear a mask when he speaks. He presumably will continue to conduct video press conferences for the rest of the season, since he has made it clear that he disagrees with the requirement to wear a mask during press conferences.

Rodgers has said he didn’t believe he “lied” about his vaccination status.

“First of all, I didn’t lie in the initial press conference,” Rodgers told Pat McAfee. “During that time, it was a witch hunt that was going on across the league, where everybody in the media was so concerned about who was vaccinated and who wasn’t and what that meant and who was being selfish and who would talk about it, what it meant if they said it’s a personal decision and they shouldn’t have to disclose their own medical information.

“And at the time, my plan was to say that I have been immunized. It wasn’t some sort of ruse or lie. It was the truth, and I’ll get into the whole immunization in a second. But had there been a follow-up to my statement that I’ve been immunized, I would have responded with this: I would have said, ‘Look, I’m not some sort of anti-vax, flat-Earther. I am somebody who’s a critical thinker.’”

It’ll be interesting to see how Rodgers handles his press conference on Sunday.
