NFL fines Packers, QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Allen Lazard for violating COVID-19 protocols

The NFL issued fines to the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Allen Lazard after its review found the team and its two players did not follow league COVID-19 protocols, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tuesday.

The Packers were fined US$300,000, while Rodgers and Lazard were each fined US$14,650, according to the discipline schedule negotiated by the NFL and the NFL Players Association.

The NFL determined Rodgers and Lazard each attended a Halloween party despite being unvaccinated, a violation of protocols prohibiting unvaccinated players from gathering outside of team facilities in a group of more than three players.
