Aaron Rodgers has beaten COVID this season and is battling a broken toe, and another challenge could soon be ahead: the dreaded Manningcast curse.
During his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers teased a potential appearance on ESPN’s Monday Night Football Manningcast broadcast in the coming weeks.
According to Rodgers, a January appearance is in the works. The next Manningcast broadcast is scheduled for Monday, January 3 for the AFC North clash between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17.
“There’s a conversation about going on there in January,” Rodgers said.

An appearance from Rodgers would break the current three-week streak of Manningcast broadcasts without an active NFL player. The six active players who appeared on the show during the first half of the season went 0-6 the week after their appearances.
So, could the Manningcast Curse be the latest obstacle for Rodgers during the 2021-22 NFL regular season? We will find out over the course of the next few weeks.
