2:13 PM PT -- Court documents obtained by TMZ Sports state Shaq Mason's Wednesday morning arrest stemmed from a violent incident he had with the mother of his child at her Franklin, Tenn. home.

According to the docs, Mason broke into the woman's residence at around 3:11 AM, made his way into her bedroom and choked her out. He then allegedly punched the woman in the mouth, before stating "he was going to kill her."

Police officers wrote in the docs they noticed a "fresh laceration" on the woman's bottom lip during questioning. They also stated Mason went on to send a selfie to the woman with a text that read "Im gonna kill you."

Mason, who's still in police custody as of late Wednesday afternoon, is tentatively due in court for a hearing on the matter in October.

NFL offensive lineman Shaq Mason -- who helped Tom Brady and the Patriots win two Super Bowls -- was arrested in Tennessee on Wednesday.

Travis Kelce apparently didn't even trust some of his own teammates with the news of his engagement to Taylor Swift ... as a second Chiefs player just revealed he was also kept in the dark.

Noah Gray -- who's in tight end meetings daily with Kelce -- told reporters on Wednesday he found out about the proposal just like everyone else ... as he was scrolling through Instagram on Tuesday.

Gray, though, made it clear he wasn't upset about it all ... explaining he's actually thrilled for his buddy and his future bride.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Rice accepted the NFL's recommended ban on Wednesday ... and he'll now begin serving it immediately. He will be eligible to return for the Chiefs' Week 7 showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders.

In the interim ... the 25-year-old will miss his squad's matchups against the L.A. Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Detroit Lions.

Jordon Hudson appears to be leaning into the "gold digger" claims ... 'cause Bill Belichick's girlfriend's company -- which is managed by the 24-year-old -- just filed to trademark the term.

Records show the application was filed by TCE Rights Management LLC on Aug. 25 -- and as trademark attorney Josh Gerben first noted, it is with the intention to use it for jewelry and trinkets.

The same company also filed for several trademarks earlier this year ... including phrases like All-Belichick Team, Chapel Bill, The Belichick Way, Dynasty (Bill's Version) and more.

While Taylor Swift was getting rings, Kayla Nicole was closing her Apple Watch ones ... hitting the gym hard after the world's biggest pop star revealed she had gotten engaged to Travis Kelce.

Kayla -- who dated the Kansas City Chiefs star for roughly five years before he moved on with Swift -- was seen grinding in the weight room just hours after her former man revealed to the world he's slated to wed his famous GF.

Kayla got in some thrusters, some bent-over rows, a few lat pulldowns and some core work ... clearly looking to sweat off the day's biggest news.

Jason Kelce celebrated his little brother's engagement to Taylor Swift in the most Jason Kelce way possible -- by screaming and dropping a big ol' F-bomb!!!

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar revealed his AE x TK limited edition clothing collab via his Tru Kolors brand ... and as it turns out, they've been working together behind the scenes for more than a year.

Travis Kelce asked Taylor Swift to marry him almost two weeks ago, and he popped the question at a garden in Missouri ... so says the NFL player's dad.

Ed Kelce dished on his son's engagement to the biggest pop star in the world in an interview Tuesday with News 5 Cleveland ... telling the outlet how it all went down.

The couple set the post to Taylor's fan-favorite song, "So High School" from her "Tortured Poets Department" album ... which makes sense given the song is inspired by their romance.

TMZ has learned the engagement ring is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut. The jewelry designer is Kindred Lubeck ... and sources tell us the jeweler worked with Travis to design the sparkler.

Taylor and Travis' "Love Story" started back in July 2023, after the NFL tight end voiced his disappointment that he wasn't able to meet the pop star at her "Eras" tour stop in Kansas City. Travis made the confession on his "New Heights" podcast, admitting he made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it for her.

Word got back to Taylor, however, who later called the gesture something out of a "John Hughes movie" during her first "New Heights" podcast appearance in 2025.

Guinness World Records officially recognized T. Swift's sit-down with the Kelces as a historic event ... as the 1.3 million YouTube viewers it drew in was the biggest concurrent audience in the platform's history.

The accomplishment is no surprise -- as GWR pointed out, Tay is a "record-breaking machine" at this point ... and her "The Tortured Poets Department" album had the most first-day album streams on Spotify and was the most-streamed LP in a 24-hour period with 313.7 million.

Desmond Watson -- the 449-pound rookie -- has hit a speed bump in his NFL journey ... as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut him ahead of the 53-man roster deadline.
