Cordarrelle Patterson was arrested in Tennessee over the weekend after his wife accused him of grabbing her hair and arm during an alleged domestic dispute. Police reportedly found bruising on her arm; the allegations have not been established in court.

Patterson, 35, was released from the Sevier County jail on a $1,000 bond. He and his wife married in 2024 and have three children. A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Patterson holds the NFL record for kick-return touchdowns, with nine, and has not signed with a team since being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers during training camp in 2025.
