Former Super Bowl Champion Cordarrelle Patterson Arrested on Domestic Assault Charge

Former NFL running back Cordarrelle Patterson was arrested in Tennessee on a domestic assault charge, according to a report by PEOPLE.

Patterson, 35, was arrested in Sevierville on Saturday, October 17, 2026, according to documents cited in the report. He was reportedly released later that night after posting a $1,000 bond.

Authorities have not publicly disclosed further details about the incident. The Sevier County Sheriff’s Office and Patterson’s representatives had not immediately commented when PEOPLE published its report.
