Former NFL running back and kick return specialist Cordarrelle Patterson has been arrested on a domestic assault charge, according to TMZ. The report states that Patterson was booked into a Tennessee jail early Saturday morning.
TMZ said it had contacted law enforcement for further details but had not received a response at the time of publication. Additional information about the allegation was not included in the report.
Patterson entered the NFL in 2013 after the Minnesota Vikings selected him in the first round of the draft. He later played for several teams, including the Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The veteran earned four Pro Bowl selections and multiple All-Pro honors during his career. He was also part of the Patriots team that defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
The case remains developing, and further details may emerge as authorities respond.
