Aaron Rodgers has 'COVID Toe,' or a fractured toe depending on who asks him
In an interview on the 'Pat McAfee Show' Tuesday, Aaron Rodgers admitted he had 'COVID Toe,' a "casual name for something medically known as pernio or chilblains, which is a condition that causes symptoms such as discoloration and lesions. It can be extremely painful and turn the toes purple," according to Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal.
“The way I would think about it is it’s basically a side effect of how your own immune system is fighting the virus,” said Esther Freeman, a doctor and principal investigator for the Covid-19 Dermatology Registry. “It’s part of our body’s response to the response to the virus. It’s almost too much of a good thing.”
Rodgers also said he has no other lingering effects from COVID-19.
Later in the day, Rodgers claimed that he has a fractured toe according to multiple Packers beat reporters.
It will be interesting to see how long 'COVID toe' hangs around, but it could be detrimental to Rodgers' production.
