LOOK: Aaron Rodgers puts broken toe on social media

Aaron Rodgers has been dealing with a lingering toe injury, as NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero initially reported during Sunday’s Packers game vs. the Vikings. He told the media on Wednesday that he actually suffered a fractured toe.

Rodgers demonstrated his injury by pulling his foot up to the camera during his media availability. He later changed the featured image on his social media page to an image of the awkward moment.

Whether trolling the media members who he showed his toes to, or his 4.5 million followers on Twitter, it is clear the Packers star is having fun again.

Aaron Rodgers on toe injury

On Tuesday, the reigning NFL MVP made his weekly appearance on Pat McAfee’s podcast, and the host asked for some clarity on the toe injury.

In response, Aaron Rodgers shut down rumors that his injury could be turf toe or ‘COVID toes’, while explaining his current ailment is far more painful.

“With all do respect to Tom Pelissero, I can say whatever I want,” Rodgers said jokingly. “I believe that I had mentioned that it is more painful than turf toe, and I had turf toe years ago.”

Rodgers went on to explain in graphic detail that his injury is more of a bone issue, instead of a joint issue that comes with turf toe. Now, we know that it was indeed a bone issue.

“It’s better the fifth toe than the first toe, or the second or the third or probably the fourth toe,” he said to McAfee.

This is a significant development to follow as the Green Bay Packers continue to make a push toward the playoffs. The 8-3 Packers take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday before a bye week.

Rodgers exits game at halftime

On Sunday, after completing a spot-on touchdown pass to Josiah Deguara ahead of the half, Aaron Rodgers jogged into the locker room and missed the kneel down. Many speculated whether it was his toe injury that had him in a hurry to get off the field

The Packers drove down the field for a nine-play, 74-yard touchdown drive, capped by Rodgers’ 25-yard pass to Deguara. It was the second-year Packers tight end’s first career touchdown.

After the extra point, which put the Rodgers and the Pack down by six, the reigning NFL MVP headed for the locker room. However, with 30 seconds left, the defense held Minnesota to a three-and-out.

Instead of getting back out onto the field, Rodgers’ back up Jordan Love checked in for the kneel at the Green Bay 35-yard line.
