Aaron Rodgers ended up on the Green Bay Packers’ injury report with a toe injury he had been dealing with since he returned to the team following his 10-day isolation following a positive COVID-19 result.

Rodgers talked about the toe injury in his weekly spot on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday. McAfee asked the Packers superstar whether he suffered the injury while he was quarantined.

"It’s a little painful but I think I’ll be OK. I was able to run around a little bit on Sunday," he said, adding that the injury could’ve happened with him running a 2-minute drill in his backyard.
