Packers QB Aaron Rodgers in COVID-19 protocol, out Sunday
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in the NFL's COVID-19 protocol and will miss Sunday’s game at Kansas CityNOVEMBER 3, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Returns from COVID-19 list The Packers reinstated Lazard from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Impact Lazard never tested positive for the virus, but because he's unvaccinated and was deemed a close contact of teammate Davante Adams (illness) -- who tested positive -- he was placed on the list six days ago and forced to miss last week's win over the Cardinals. Lazard rejoined the Packers earlier Monday for an unofficial practice session, signaling that he had completed his quarantine and cleared all COVID-19-related protocols. As a result, Lazard should be ready to reprise his starting role at receiver Sunday against the Chiefs, though his projected target volume likely will hinge on the availability of Adams, who remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of Monday.

Back at practice Monday Lazard (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lazard missed Thursday's game against the Cardinals because he was considered a close contact of teammate Davante Adams (illness), but it appears as though he didn't test positive for COVID-19. The 25-year-old thus has a good chance to return for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.

Not eligible for Week 8 Lazard, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday as a close contact of teammate Davante Adams (illness), isn't eligible to play Thursday against the Cardinals, Ian Rapop...
Impact Unlike Adams, Lazard hasn't tested positive for the virus. However, Rapoport notes that because Lazard is unvaccinated, he'll be away from the team for at least five days and will need to continue testing negative before clearing the NFL's COVID-19 protocol. That timeline means that Lazard won't be ready to go by the time Thursday's game arrives, and Adams appears doubtful to clear the protocol. Meanwhile, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) hasn't resumed practicing since suffering his injury Sept. 26, so the Packers will likely enter the Week 8 matchup without their top three wide receivers. Tight end Robert Tonyan, running back Aaron Jones and wideouts Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown and Amari Rodgers are left as the top options in the passing game for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Lazard is latest Packers WR to go on reserve/COVID-19 list
Green Bay’s decimated receiving group has taken one more hit as the Packers prepare to face the unbeaten Arizona CardinalsOCTOBER 26, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joins Adams on COVID list The Packers placed Lazard on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Impact After teammate Davante Adams was placed on the COVID-19 list following a positive test, Lazard was one of several Green Bay pass catchers who appeared poised to take on a greater role with the team's top target on track to miss Thursday's game in Arizona. Instead, Lazard now looks set to miss the Week 8 contest along with Adams, leaving Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown and Amari Rodgers as the lone receivers on the active roster. Regardless if Lazard is vaccinated prior to testing positive for the virus or is merely being placed on the list as a close contact of an infected person, he'll face an uphill battle to clear all COVID-19 health and safety protocols ahead of Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
