Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers will conduct his post-game press conference on Zoom on Sunday, according to multiple reports, after going unmasked in previous sessions with the media.

Aaron Rodgers will not be at the podium postgame and will speak on Zoom instead after the NFL cracked down on him not wearing a mask at the podium while unvaccinated.

#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers will be doing his postgame presser via ZOOM.

Like everyone knows by now – Rodgers was meeting with the media in person without a mask as an unvaccinated individual. Got fined. The #Packers and NFL making sure protocols are being followed.

Rodgers returned to the Packers lineup for a game against the Seattle Seahawks after missing his team’s previous contest following his positive COVID-19 test.

Rodgers, who admitted he was unvaccinated in an interview last week, said the only COVID protocol he broke was not wearing a mask to press conferences. He said he felt the rule made no sense.

The NFL fined Rodgers $14,650 for attending a Halloween party without a mask.
