Popular show host Pat McAfee has made a curious revelation regarding New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers, who is heading into his second season with the Jets, will hope he can actually be out on the field in 2024 after being sidelined for the entirety of the 2023 campaign with a torn Achilles.

Fans were naturally worried when a video surfaced online showing the veteran quarterback sitting down while taking a shoe and sock off his right foot. But, according to Pat McAfee, who cited a source during ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ Rodgers was simply trying to avoid blisters and is possibly dealing with the lingering effects of “COVID toe.”

Check it out in the video below:

Aaron Rodgers Has Some History With COVID Toe

Aaron Rodgers, who claimed to be “immunized” during the pandemic, tested positive for COVID-19 in 2021. He denied he had COVID toe while speaking to reporters about a toe fracture.

“I mentioned yesterday that it’s worse than turf toe and it must be a bone issue — I can’t believe I have to come on here and talk about my medical information — but yeah, I have a fractured toe,” he said back then.

“I’ve never had a Covid toe before. I have no lesions on my feet. It’s just a classic case of disinformation.”

Said disinformation started with him, however.

“I felt good in just a few days,” he told McAfee prior to his interview with reporters. “I didn’t have any lingering effects other than Covid toe.”

In case you’re wondering what COVID toe is, it’s a term used to describe the swelling, pain, and discoloration in the foot of a COVID-19 patient.
