A day after Aaron Rodgers told the Pat McAfee Show that his only remaining coronavirus symptom is “COVID toe” in his pinkie, the Green Bay Packers quarterback insisted he was just kidding. “I have a fractured toe,” he said during a Zoom press conference Wednesday, actually lifting up his foot to the camera for the world to unfortunately see. Rodgers also said he wouldn’t miss any time due to his foot affliction. The injury had sent Rodgers off the field during his last game, forcing backup quarterback Jordan Love to make the last play before halftime.
"I have a fractured toe."
