It wasn\u2019t some sort of ruse or lie. It was the truth.\u201d\u00a0Rodgers said that he learned that he has an allergy to an ingredient in the mRNA vaccines and that he was not comfortable taking the Johnson &#038; Johnson vaccine due to some people having bad reactions to the J&#038;J shot.\u00a0He decided to go an alternative route and that the NFL was aware of it. He petitioned the NFL to accept his immunization status and was denied.Rodgers missed Sunday\u2019s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, with backup Jordan Love getting his first NFL start in a 13-7 loss. Rodgers will be eligible to return to the team November 13. Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire. Most recently, Morgan covered the Clippers, Lakers, and the NBA for Sporting News.
