Aaron Rodgers clears the air about his Covid Toe joke

After defeating the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers quarterback revealed that replayed the match with a toe injury. When asked for more details about the injury, the former Cal standout joked it to be Covid Toe. Unfortunately, few could get his joke.

“Covid Toe is a casual name for something medically known as pernio or chilblains, which is a condition that causes symptoms as discoloration and lesions,” Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal said this week. “It can be extremely painful and turn the toes purple.”

The WSJ article gained enough traction, and the Rodgers was asked about it. Rodgers said he got “a kick out of reading that article.” He, in fact, found it to be very intriguing. “That was very, very interesting, but, no, I had never heard of COVID toe before,” Rodgers said. “Pat [McAfee] made a joke about it on the show, and I mentioned yesterday that it’s worse than a turf toe and it must be a bone issue.”

Green Bay Packers quarterback proves he does not have ‘COVID toe’ in the most hilarious manner possible

During last night’ pre-match press conference, the Packers quarterback pulled off the funniest trick in the history of press conferences. As proof for not having ‘COVID toe’, he put his foot up in front of the camera to show that he has a broken pinky toe.

“I’m glad you asked just so I could show you the lesions of my foot here, so if I have enough room on this camera, let me see if I can,” Rodgers said as he lifted his left foot. “Oh, there’s no lesions whatsoever. Oh, what a surprise. No, that’s actually called disinformation when you perpetuate false information about an individual. I have a fractured toe.”

Unbelievable!
