绿湾包装工队四分卫亚伦·罗杰斯被列入美国国家橄榄球联盟的新冠肺炎名单后，将缺席周日对堪萨斯城酋长队的比赛。
包装工队主教练马特·拉弗勒在周三下午的新闻发布会上告诉记者，他不确定37岁的罗杰斯将在本周之后离开多久，替补四分卫乔丹·洛夫将在堪萨斯城接替他。
拉弗勒说，他无法评论罗杰斯是否对新冠肺炎检测呈阳性，也不确定这名运动员是否有任何症状。他也没有证实罗杰斯是否接种了新冠肺炎疫苗。
“我认为每个人都必须做出自己的个人决定，这就是事实，”教练说。

这一宣布引发了人们对罗杰斯疫苗接种状况的一些困惑。
ESPN据报告的周三，援引消息来源称，现任美国国家橄榄球联盟最有价值球员据称请求美国国家橄榄球联盟提供替代治疗，以允许他被考虑接种疫苗。
根据ESPN的消息来源，联盟最终裁定罗杰斯不被考虑接种疫苗。然而，罗杰斯在新闻发布会上没有戴口罩。据ESPN报道，在媒体见面会上，包装工已经让未接种疫苗的球员上了Zoom。
今年8月，罗杰斯回应称，当被问及他在一次媒体会话。
罗杰斯当时说:“你知道，围绕它有很多对话，围绕联盟，有很多发表声明和没有发表声明的家伙，有发表声明的老板。“团队中有些人没有接种疫苗。我认为这是个人决定。我不会评判那些人。有些接种过疫苗的人感染了COVID。这是一个有趣的问题，我认为我们会看到整个赛季都在上演。”
美国国家橄榄球联盟发言人在给美国广播公司新闻的一份声明中说，每支球队都有责任执行新冠肺炎协议。
这位发言人说:“未能正确执行协议导致了过去针对个别俱乐部的纪律评估。“联盟已经意识到了绿湾的现状，将会和包装工一起进行评估。”

根据NFL协议，未接种疫苗的球员每天接受检测，而接种疫苗的球员每周接受检测。新冠肺炎检测呈阳性的未接种疫苗的球员必须隔离至少10天。由于未接种疫苗的球员中爆发疫情，NFL球队可能面临潜在的罚款和薪水损失。
从10月3日到16日，最近的一次新冠肺炎报表周期从NFL来看，新确认的球员检测阳性14例，人员检测阳性26例，总体发生率为0.6%。
联盟表示，截至10月21日，94.1%的NFL球员接种了疫苗。
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers placed on COVID-19 list
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss this Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs after being put on the NFL's COVID-19 list, the team said.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters during a press briefing Wednesday afternoon that he is unsure how long Rodgers, 37, will be out beyond this week, and that backup quarterback Jordan Love will start at Kansas City in his place.
LaFleur said he couldn't comment on whether Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 and was unsure if the athlete is experiencing any symptoms. He also wouldn't confirm whether Rodgers was vaccinated against COVID-19.
"I think everybody has to make their own personal decision, and that's just what it is," the coach said.
The announcement sparked some confusion around Rodgers' vaccination status.
ESPNreportedWednesday, citing sources, that the reigning NFL MVP purportedly petitioned the NFL to have an alternative treatment allow him to be considered vaccinated.
The league ultimately ruled that Rodgers would not be considered vaccinated, according to ESPN sources. However, Rodgers has not been wearing a mask while in-person at news conferences. The Packers have put unvaccinated players on Zoom during media sessions, ESPN reported.
In August, Rodgers responded that he's been "immunized" when asked about his vaccination status during amedia session.
"You know, there's a lot of conversation around it, around the league, and a lot of guys who have made statements and not made statements, owners who have made statements," Rodgers said at the time. "There's guys on the team that haven't been vaccinated. I think it's a personal decision. I'm not going to judge those guys. There are guys that've been vaccinated that have contracted COVID. It's an interesting issue that I think we're going to see played out the entire season."
Each team is responsible for enforcing COVID-19 protocols, an NFL spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News.
"Failure to properly enforce the protocols has resulted in discipline being assessed against individual clubs in the past," the spokesperson said. "The league is aware of the current situation in Green Bay and will be reviewing with the Packers."
Under NFL protocols, unvaccinated players are tested daily, while vaccinated players are tested weekly. Unvaccinated players who test positive for COVID-19 must isolate for at least 10 days. NFL teams could face potential forfeits and lost paychecks for outbreaks among unvaccinated players.
From Oct. 3 to 16, the most recent COVID-19reporting periodfrom the NFL, there were 14 new confirmed positive tests among players and 26 among personnel, with an overall incidence rate of 0.6%.
As of Oct. 21, 94.1% of NFL players were vaccinated, the league said.
