Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says his toe injury is a fracture and added that he doesn’t expect the situation to cause him to miss any games.

The league MVP has been playing with the toe injury each of the last two games after missing a 13-7 loss to the Chiefs because of a positive COVID-19 test. He said the injury occurred while working out at home during his quarantine.

“I’m going to deal with the pain,” Rodgers said Wednesday. “It’s all about pain management. ... I’ll try to be on the practice field as much as I can, deal with the pain, and the goal is to play every single week.”

The NFC North-leading Packers (8-3) host the Rams (7-3) on Sunday and then have the next week off.

Rodgers on Wednesday disputed a report that he had “COVID toe,” a name that’s been given to a condition causing lesions among some people who test positive for COVID.

While discussing his health Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show” on YouTube and SiriusXM, Rodgers said he “didn’t have any lingering effects other than the COVID toe,” but he was smirking as he made that comment.

When he was asked about it Wednesday, Rodgers revealed his bare left foot during his Zoom session with reporters.

“Oh, there’s no lesions whatsoever,” Rodgers said. “Oh, what a surprise. No, that’s actually called disinformation, when you perpetuate false information about an individual.”

The Vikings sent psychologists to the home of DE Everson Griffen to work with police on guiding him through another alarming mental health situation, as the 12th-year player refused to come out of his house because he feared intruders. Griffen, 33, who took a leave from the team in 2018 for mental health treatment, posted on Instagram screenshots of middle-of-the-night text messages to his agent, Brian Murphy, that were pleas for help because he said people were trying to kill him. Griffen also posted a video depicting him with a gun that he said was purchased legally. Those posts have since been deleted. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Griffen wouldn’t play against the 49ers. “No, that’s really not our concern right now. It’s really about him,” Zimmer added.
