Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has not entered his "darkness retreat" just yet but will head into his isolation experience later this week. 

Rodgers initially informed the world of his plans last week on "The Pat McAfee Show," in which the four-time MVP said he would enter four days of darkness and isolation. After the four days, Rodgers said he would be able to "make a decision I feel like is best for me moving forward and the highest interest of my happiness."

Over the weekend it was reported that Rodgers would enter his isolation on Monday, which would go a long way in determining his future in the NFL.

JETS REACH OUT TO PACKERS FOR AARON RODGERS’ AVAILABILITY: REPORT

On Tuesday, Rodgers joined "The Pat McAfee Show" and explained that the reporting around his retreat was incorrect. 

"Listen, I’m not in my darkness retreat yet. This thing has been planned for about four months, and it was always the same date," Rodgers said. "Always the end of this week. So, anybody with knowledge to the opposite of that is ‘fake news.’ 

"Let me just reiterate one more time. There’s an inner circle, right? And in my inner circle, nobody talks to [NFL Network’s] Ian Rapoport, to [ESPN’s] Adam Schefter, or to any of those people. So if you’re one of those people who’s talking to those people, it’s a great reminder for you, you’re not in the inner circle.
