The NFL has fined Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for COVID-19 protocol violations after it was revealed he's not been vaccinated.
The NFL fined the Packers $300,000, and Rodgers $14,650, for not following the league's COVID-19 protocols, The New York Times reports. Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard was also fined $14,650. Lazard and Rodgers both attended a Halloween party in violation of COVID-19 protocols for unvaccinated players, and Rodgers also violated the protocols by speaking to reporters without wearing a mask, according to the Times.
