Aaron Rodgers has tested positive for Covid-19, but according to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, losing last year’s NFL MVP for a game isn’t a big deal for the Green Bay Packers.

“It’s unfortunate. It’s not major,” Smith said in response to Wednesday morning’s breaking news on First Take. “It’s just one game. They’ll be 7-2 worst-case scenario. If this were an injury that was gonna leave him out for weeks or whatever, then fine. But he’s just out cause he got the ‘rona.”

Coming off an MVP season, Rodgers has led the Packers to a 7-1 record, tied for the best in the league. Rodgers is certainly out for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it is possible that he might miss more time.
