Rams starting cornerback Derion Kendrick was arrested in Los Angeles on Monday ... less than 12 hours after he helped his team beat the Arizona Cardinals.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports ... the 23-year-old was pulled over early in the morning for a traffic violation -- and we're told during the stop, police found a gun and marijuana in his car.

Jail records show Kendrick was then booked at 2:14 AM PT on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon ... and as of 2:30 PM PT on Monday, he remained in custody.

Further details surrounding the arrest were not made immediately available. We've reached out to the Rams for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

Kendrick -- who was drafted by LA in 2022 -- played nearly every defensive down for the Rams just hours before his arrest ... logging two tackles in their 26-9 win at SoFi Stadium.

1:42 PM PT -- Great news ... Bills head coach Sean McDermott just told reporters Damien Harris has been released from the hospital and is currently resting at home.

McDermott added that Harris has been diagnosed with a neck sprain and is in the concussion protocol ... but he's "in good spirits."

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris was taken away from the field on Sunday night in an ambulance after sustaining a neck injury ... and the scene -- one that felt eerily similar to Damar Hamlin's on-field medical emergency -- was scary.

The 26-year-old was hurt in the second quarter of Buffalo's tilt with the New York Giants ... when he was trying to fight for a first down after taking a handoff from quarterback Josh Allen.

As he slammed his body into a pile of New York defenders ... he was wrestled to the ground -- and when he didn't get up, trainers raced in to tend to him.

They immediately stabilized him -- before strapping him to a backboard and loading him into an ambulance. At one point, he was able to give a thumbs up.

After the game, Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Harris, thankfully, has full movement of his extremities.

"Things are heading in a good direction right now for Damien," he said.

No further updates on his condition were released.

Hamlin, who, like Harris, required an ambulance to leave the field when he was infamously hurt during a game back in January, watched the scene unfold from the sidelines -- and appeared very concerned for his teammate.

"It's really an emotional thing," Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins told reporters after the game, "and people be trying to act like we're unhuman like ... that stuff is real."

"It's very real."

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are in a giant money hole, but their house is worth millions ... and they just listed it for sale while in the middle of their nasty divorce.

The Milton, Georgia just hit the market for $6,000,000 ... it's got 7 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a beautiful pool in the backyard. If Kim and Kroy get asking price, they'll make a substantial profit on the property as they bought it back in 2012 for $880,000.

Located on a golf course, the home also comes equipped with a home gym, movie theater, wine cellar, bar, arcade and plenty of space to spread out.

Interestingly enough, the home was scheduled to go into foreclosure next month ... so Kim and Kroy are getting ahead of the auction in attempting to sell it themselves.

Remember, we were the first to report when Kroy filed docs asking the judge to allow the sale of the home in order to help pay off the estranged couple's various debts.

The house sale marks just another chapter in the couple's contentious divorce ... with allegations of gambling addiction, drug use and at one point both dismissed their divorce petitions -- only for Kroy to file once again.

12:45 AM PT -- According to an incident report obtained by TMZ Sports, Antonio Brown was arrested Sunday outside of his home in Dania Beach, Fla. while getting into a taxicab.

Antonio Brown was arrested in Florida over the weekend ... just days after his ex told TMZ Sports she wanted him put behind bars over unpaid child support.

According to jail records, Brown was booked at 12 AM on Sunday in Broward County, Fla. ... and released a short time later.

WPLG reported Monday it all stemmed from a Miami-Dade Police Department warrant that was filed after Brown allegedly ducked making child support payments to his ex, Wiltrice Jackson.

Jackson told us last week the former NFL star owes her nearly $31,000.

"I do want him arrested," she said. "Because, right now, he's making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he's untouchable."

Brown has not played in the NFL since the 2021 season ... though he's found success away from the field making rap music.

Jake Paul is climbing back into the squared circle in less than two months ... we just don't know who The Problem Child is fighting!

26-year-old Paul, who last fought Nate Diaz in August, is preparing to lace up the boxing gloves once again for his next professional bout in mid-December.

"8 fights in the boxing game and I'm already its biggest name. I’ve proved that I can headline the biggest global events and defy the odds. PPV after PPV after PPV, and I’m just getting started," Paul said while announcing his return.

"My mission is to be a world champion and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. December 15th is the next step on my journey, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss it.”

Jake's opponent is not yet known.

Of course, JP beat Nate by unanimous decision ... bringing his record to 7-1. His lone loss was by split decision to Tommy Fury in February.

Paul has made it clear he wants to rematch Fury ... but Tommy just fought KSI on Saturday, and although he didn't take much damage (neither did JJ), it'd be tough to imagine him turning around in 60 days.

A man in Australia was forced to put up his dukes against a buff kangaroo that was holding his dog hostage ... catching the whole thing on camera.

The down-under beatdown took place between the 'roo and Mildura resident Mick Moloney ... who took a swing at the animal, and got knocked in return -- his camera took a tumble into the water, but his dog was safe from the scary situation.

Mick told ABC Radio Melbourne Afternoons he was stretching near the river over the weekend when he noticed his pup, Hatchi, was nowhere to be found.

He soon found his answer, though -- first noticing the kangaroo staring at him in the river, then his dog came up from the water, yelping as water gushed out of its mouth.

Mick claims Hatchi was in a headlock and knew he had to go save his doggo ... but admitted the kangaroo looked "jacked," adding, "I was like 'this thing's just got out of jail' or something."

He says it was pretty strong -- but he slapped the marsupial across the head and got into a tussle in the water. Mick admits it looked like it was gonna kick him, too ... but he splashed some water in its face while he bolted to the shore where his dog was safe.

Unlike Joe Budden, Cam’ron’s not completely retired from rapping after adopting a career in podcasting, and he’s taking a baton passed by J. Cole and running with it for his own track.

On Monday, Cam expanded on Cole’s shoutout from Lil Yachty’s track “The Secret Recipe”
where Cole saluted the Diplomats rapper with the line, "I prolly put more n****s on pause than Cam and Mason Beth.”

Later on his verse, the Harlem rapper-turned-sportscaster plugged his show while taking aim at future HOF Chris Paul jumping to the Golden State Warriors ... "Say what I want, 'It Is What It Is'/Don't care who take offense/Like Chris Paul, y'all, on Golden State, it don't make no sense/Unless he 2nd unit, when the game start, he play the bench."

Steven A. Smith recently cast doubts on CP3's ability with the Dubs, but Cam and his cohost Ma$e are disrupting the world of sports commentary from a different angle -- they can professionally rap their hot takes!!!

The track eventually bleeds into a preview of Cam's upcoming Halloween-themed video, "Get Mine Regardless" where he dons a Freddy Krueger getup to slash home his point.

At 38 years old, even Chris wouldn't argue he's past his prime, but his immeasurable experience could surely prove valuable to GS' 2024 championship hopes.

Jimmie Allen showed face at a Pop Warner youth football game over the weekend with some protection ... carrying a hunting knife on his side while taking in the action.

TMZ obtained photos of the country music star with a huge knife in a sheath hanging from his hip. A witness tells us Jimmie showed up Saturday to a Pop Warner game in Lewes, DE to watch a family member play.

Folks who were there say Jimmie had a friendly conversation with the man he was standing next to on the field ... and we're told Jimmie seemed to be rooting for the winning team.

While it's unclear exactly why he had the knife, a source close to the singer tells us he fishes almost daily and is always outdoors, so it's possible he just happened to have the knife on him.

Jimmie's been going through a lot lately ... as we've reported, he's countersuing a woman who is accusing him of sexually assaulting her and secretly filming the alleged encounter.

What's more, Jimmie is also countersuing his former manager, who is accusing him of sexual abuse.

Meanwhile, Jimmie and his wife Alexis are back together after briefly separating when he confessed to cheating on her ... and last month they welcomed their third child together.

A Bears fan was hit so hard by a haymaker during a fight at Chicago's game over the weekend, he appeared to momentarily lose consciousness right in the middle of a stadium concourse.

The wild fracas happened at some point during the Bears' tilt with the Vikings at Soldier Field on Sunday ... when a group of men became so enraged with one another, they started brawling.

At one point during the action, a man in a Walter Payton jersey was absolutely leveled by a Justin Fields supporter ... and you can see in video from the scene, the punch seemed to briefly KO the man.

Somehow, however, he got up -- before he was pushed back to the ground just seconds later.

Meanwhile, as several other Bears fans were scuffling, a man kicked another man hard in the head. The violence then appeared to mercifully stop.

We've reached out to cops to see if any arrests were made, but so far, no word back yet.

Floyd Mayweather joined a pro-Israel march in Los Angeles on Sunday, walking shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of supporters ... the same day the legendary fighter sent his jet to Tel Aviv packed with supplies.

The "Solidarity March For Israel" went down yesterday in Century City, starting at the Orthodox Young Israel synagogue ... and ending at the Museum of Tolerance.

“I will continue to support Israel and its right to defend itself and its right to exist. I condemn the Hamas terrorists,” Mayweather told us

During the march, we're told Floyd spent time with fans ... taking photos, giving autographs, and hanging out during the half-mile walk.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a celebrity who has been more supportive of Israel and the Jewish community since last weekend's attacks.

Not only has Floyd spoken out on several occasions, but he also sent his plane with over 5,000 lbs. of goods to Israel on Sunday.

In addition to Floyd, ex-NBA player Glen "Big Baby" Davis and dancer Montana Tucker were among the thousands and thousands of people marching.

The Swifties are showing they're big fans of Taylor's new man ... 'cause one of them hunted Travis Kelce down at the Jets game on Sunday to hand-deliver him a friendship bracelet.

The Swift supporter, Krissy, explained how she got it all done in a series of TikToks over the weekend ... saying she created the bracelet and one other for the wife of Kelce's brother, Jason, just prior to NY's game against the Eagles on Sunday morning.

She said when she got into MetLife Stadium, she and a friend went searching for Kelce ... and when she found him, she did her best to sweet talk security guards so she could get near him and hand off the goods.

Eventually, she was able to get it to Kelce ... and he obviously loved it.

As for what was written on the jewelry, it said "On The Map" -- a reference to fans who have jokingly said Swift made Kelce famous.

Kelce and Swift have been dating for a few weeks ... though they've just recently gone public with their relationship -- putting on several displays of PDA while out in New York over the weekend.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are on a roll, hitting the Big Apple two nights in a row ... and showing some major PDA!!

The world's most famous couple was filmed strolling out of the Waverly Inn restaurant in Manhattan's Greenwich Village Sunday evening.

Check it out ... Taylor and Travis couldn't contain their excitement for one another, grinning from ear to ear.

They were also very affectionate. At one point, Travis held Taylor's hand in both of his, placing one on top of hers and the other underneath.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end then put a gentle hand on the pop star's backside as they moved through a crowd of onlookers and paparazzi photogs.

No kissing was caught on camera ... but the lovebirds likely saved that for later behind closed doors judging from all available evidence.

As we reported ... Taylor and Travis came out of their cocoon Saturday to reveal to everyone on earth they are officially boyfriend/girlfriend.

That night, the two were seen cuddling and holding hands at Nobu in Manhattan. They also caused a media frenzy as they arrived at the restaurant and left together after dinner.

Aaron Rodgers gave Jets fans further hope that he can make a comeback this season ... looking good while throwing passes before New York's game Sunday.

The 39-year-old, who tore his Achilles during a game five weeks ago, was seen warming up with some teammates prior to the Jets vs. Eagles matchup ... and he didn't seem impaired at all.

He tossed the pigskin around ... and bounced a bit on both feet, before he headed off the turf.

It's the second time in the last few days that Rodgers has shown progress since doctors surgically repaired his leg ... earlier this month, he was seen walking around in the Jets' locker room without any use of crutches.

He, of course, has made it a goal to return at some point to the Jets this year ... this despite most people with similar injuries requiring around 12 months to get healthy.

He told Pat McAfee just days after he was hurt in September that he was going to do all he could to get back under center ... and he was hopeful his doubters would help him return.

Rob Gronkowski's trying to make his annual Super Bowl party extra lit this year ... telling TMZ Sports he wants the hottest couple on the planet right now -- Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift -- to be there!!

And, get this ... he's hoping the pop star will sing -- while Kelce cuts a rug on the dance floor!!

"She can perform a song with you dancing on the stage!!" he said in a message to the Chiefs star.

Of course, a lot can happen between now and Gronk's annual "Gronk Beach" bash at this season's Super Bowl in Las Vegas -- Kelce and Swift might not be a thing ... and Travis could be playing in the Big Game, preventing him from partying anyways.

But Rob made it clear if that's not the case ... he wants the couple there -- especially after he says he and the Kansas City tight end really hit off at a "Gronk Beach" party at the 2022 NFL Draft.

In fact, Gronk explained to us that's where he learned Kelce can really move -- something he thinks attracted Swift to him in the first place!

"He's got unbelievable hips!" Gronk said.

2:47 PM PT -- Turns out, Travis decided to crash his brother's game after all ... but he showed up late, and by himself ... sans Taylor hanging on his arm. The Chiefs tight end showed up in the stands Sunday around the 2nd quarter of the game -- rocking a green tracksuit and shades.

He looked relaxed, and it also appears his presence stayed pretty low-key... until pics of him started to float around on social media, that is. Like we said, Taylor ain't there -- so this won't be nearly as big a deal as it would be if she showed up. Today, it's all about brothers.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce faked everybody out -- despite making a splashy NYC appearance this weekend ... they're nowhere to be found for a key football game.

There was a lot of speculation that the couple would show up in person Sunday to watch the Jets-Eagles game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey ... y'know, to root for Travis's brother, Jason Kelce, seeing how he's a starter ... plus, Taylor herself is a known Philly fan.

Seeing how they both hit the town the night prior -- with a romantic dinner at Nobu, not to mention a major appearance on 'SNL' not long after -- everything seemed to be lining up for them to be hanging in a private suite come kickoff ... but that never actually happened.

Once the Jets-Eagles game started, there was no mention of Taylor or Travis by the announcers ... nor was there any cut-away shot to them from the camera crew.

There have also been zero credible reports from NFL journos (or otherwise) of them being in the building, and it goes without saying ... not one photo of them at the stadium has surfaced on social media either. What that means in layman's terms ... they ain't there, folks!

It's quite surprising -- but for those who've been paying attention, perhaps not. Fact is, while the NFL almost certainly loves a Taylor appearance (it's a ratings boom) the backlash to all the focus on her during games has been immense ... and football fans are getting cranky.

In fact, this exact issue was lampooned on 'Saturday Night Live' just yesterday -- so, it's possible Tayvis are well aware of this perception ... and pulled an audible in the 11th hour.

They might be skipping the game, but ya gotta figure they'll get together with Jason and others in their inner circle afterward. But for the time being, they're letting JK have the spotlight on his own with his team. Basically, granting NFL purists their aggravated wish.

Sorry, Swifties ... better luck next week.

Floyd Mayweather's jet just touched down in Israel, loaded with over 5,000 lbs. of supplies for Israeli civilians and military ... days after the legendary boxer pledged his support for the country in the wake of the Hamas attacks.

TMZ Sports was told Mayweather's jet landed in Israel early Sunday evening (local time) with over 100 boxes of necessary supplies. Late last week the plane was loaded floor to ceiling with boxes in Los Angeles, brought on the plane by volunteers, including Floyd's TMT bodyguards.

Mayweather was already one of the most vocal celebs in pledging support for Israel, but when it became clear there was a need for a plane to deliver supplies, we're told Floyd stepped up in a big way.

Floyd, working with his friend Jona Rechnitz, along with Maya Sinai and David and Gitel Rubin, sourced the jet and pilots (TBE's), and thousands of pounds of supplies, to fly across the world to Israel and deliver to the IDF and civilians.

Just getting there was a trek ... the plane went from L.A. to NYC to London and then finally Tel Aviv ... just miles from a war zone.

“David Rubin is the child of Holocaust survivors. He is so tuned in to do anything he can for the survival of the Jewish people. When I called Floyd and asked him if he would be willing to send his plane to Israel with necessary supplies for soldiers, he said, 'Of course. I got your back. I don’t care how much it costs. Make it happen,'” Rechnitz said of Floyd's willingness to help.

Floyd's actions shouldn't come as a surprise ... he immediately condemned last weekend's attacks, and has made it very clear where he stands.

"I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost. I stand for Peace. I stand for Human Rights! Terrorism Is Never The Answer!"

Note: Mayweather has started a fundraiser, selling custom TMT Israel hats ... with proceeds going to Leket, an Israeli food bank.
