This afternoon, the Green Bay Packers made official the major roster transaction that has had the NFL buzzing all Wednesday. Aaron Rodgers is now officially on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of 4:00 PM Eastern, but he was joined by another teammate, cornerback Isaac Yiadom.
Yiadom, like Rodgers, was not in attendance for the Packers’ practice on Wednesday. There is no word as yet whether he is an unvaccinated close contact or a vaccinated positive test. These two players join Davante Adams on the list, while quarterback Kurt Benkert is officially on the practice squad/COVID-19 list.
With Yiadom likely unavailable for Sunday’s game, the Packers will need to find a way to fill in for the significant special teams snaps he has played this season.
