Cordarrelle Patterson was booked into Sevier County Jail in Tennessee early Saturday on a domestic assault charge, according to reports citing TMZ. His mugshot from the jail shows him smiling. Patterson is 35. The charge has not been adjudicated.

He last played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024 and was released in July 2025; his final game was a January 11, 2025 Wild Card loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The record lists four Pro Bowl selections, an NFL-record nine kickoff-return touchdowns and 8,238 kickoff-return yards. The Big Lead calls him a seven-time All-Pro; other outlets report four first-team All-Pro honors. No further details on the allegations appear in the record.
