According to an arrest warrant obtained by TMZ, cops say they responded to a Tennessee home on October 17 after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance.

According to the warrant, Patterson’s wife told officers the former NFL star physically assaulted her shortly before she called 911, grabbing her hair and left upper arm.

The responding officer says he observed bruising on her left bicep consistent with her account … and said she expressed fear for her safety and the safety of her children.

The couple was separated while police investigated, and Patterson was ultimately taken into custody on a domestic assault charge.

Patterson was released from the Sevier County jail the same day on a $1,000 bond.

The former first-round pick was released by the Steelers last July after signing a two-year deal with Pittsburgh that April.

He was limited to 13 games due to an ankle injury in 2024.

Patterson spent his first four seasons with the Vikings after they selected him with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

He won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2019 — and had stints with the Raiders (2017), Bears (2019-21) and Falcons (2022-23).

The veteran utility player was a four-time first-team All-Pro and three-time second-team All-Pro.
