Nurse!

Chad Johnson is advising Aaron Rodgers to pump the brakes on a potential return to the Jets this season ... telling TMZ Sports the star quarterback needs to chill before he reinjures himself.

The Bengals legend didn't mince words when discussing the topic with us this week, saying straight up, "Don't come back. You'll hurt yourself."

Johnson never had to deal with a torn Achilles during his NFL career ... but he certainly saw others go down with the injury in his 11 years in the league, and he's now warning Rodgers to not rush back this year.

"Don't do it," he said. "You're going to reinjure yourself. It's too soon."

Of course, 39-year-old Rodgers -- who tore his Achilles back on September 11 -- appears to be doing all he can to come rescue the 4-4 Jets despite outside concerns ... progressing to the point where he's now taking dropbacks and firing off passes during pregame warmups.

While Johnson is clearly impressed with the recovery so far ... he was adamant that he doesn't believe it's a good idea to return to NFL action so quickly.

"You have to understand," Johnson said, "there are few injuries that you don't want to play with. You don't want to play with anything having to do with your groin, your Achilles, or your knees. You don't rush back from those."

"I don't care what your doctors tell you."

Instead, Johnson is hopeful Rodgers will take the whole year off, get to 100 percent ... and then be ready for the 2024 season.

Kel Mitchell is finally explaining what the heck landed him in the hospital -- and it sounds like he feared the worst for a quick minute there ... with some truly scary symptoms.

The former Nickelodeon star hopped on IG and showed everybody that he's doing much better now and in good spirits -- not to mention spilling on what everyone's been wondering since he first went into the ER ... namely, WHAT HAPPENED?

According to Kel, it all started Tuesday when he was walking around and started to feel dizzy -- which he says he attributed to him possibly being dehydrated or simply low on food.

However, when parts of his body started to go numb ... that's when Kel says he started panicking and got rushed over to a hospital. KM goes on to say he couldn't lift his arm for a bit -- and that he and his loved ones suspected something terrible had happened. He doesn't say it explicitly ... but it sounds like he might've thought stroke, considering the warning signs.

Fortunately for everyone, it wasn't that ... as it turns out, Kel says an old injury flared up and that caused a bulging disc along his spine to rub up against a nerve -- and that was causing the problems he was experiencing. TMZ broke the story ... he came in conscious and alert.

Kel says they ran a battery of tests on him, which is why he had to stay overnight ... but he's out now and doing much better. The guy again thanks his fans for the well-wishes.

Kel Mitchell finalmente está explicando qué diablos lo llevó al hospital, y suena como que realmente temió lo peor en un momento dado, con algunos aterradores síntomas.

La ex estrella de Nickelodeon utilizó su Instagram para mostrarle a todos que está mucho mejor y de buen humor para contar lo que todo el mundo se ha estado preguntando desde que entró a la sala de emergencias por primera vez, y es ¿QUÉ PASÓ?

Según Kel, todo comenzó el martes cuando estaba caminando y empezó a sentirse mareado, lo que atribuyó a estar posiblemente deshidratado o a que le faltaba comer.

Sin embargo, cuando algunas partes de su cuerpo comenzaron a entumecerse realmente empezó a entrar en pánico y fue llevado de urgencia a un hospital. Continúa diciendo que no podía levantar el brazo por un tiempo y que él y sus seres queridos sospechaban que algo terrible había pasado. Él no lo dice explícitamente, pero suena como que podría haber pensado que estaba teniendo un derrame cerebral, teniendo en cuenta todas las señales de advertencia.

Afortunadamente para todos no era eso. Kel cuenta que una vieja lesión estalló y causó que un disco abultado a lo largo de su columna vertebral estuviera contra un nervio, lo que estaba causando los problemas que experimentó.

Kel dice que le hicieron una serie de pruebas, por lo que tuvo que pasar la noche en el hospital, pero ya está dado de alta y mucho mejor. El chico agradece de nuevo a sus fans por los buenos deseos.

No, Aaron Rodgers wasn't carrying a bong around with him at the Jets' game despite some heavy online speculation ... recently speaking out to clear the hazy air.

The Jets quarterback set the internet alight when he was filmed on the sidelines accidentally dropping a box, and causing what many thought appeared to be a large glass bong to fall out. Of course, this gave way to heavy speculation online, as Aaron's never been one to shy away from mind-altering substances.

However, during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" Thursday, Aaron said the glass object was actually just an uber-fancy bottle of tequila he had been gifted.

"Shout out to bongs everywhere ... but that was not one of them," he amused in an apparent swipe at those online hoping the potential smoking pipe would propel him into a fresh controversy.

On the subject of online chatter, he also ridiculed the bong conspiracy as "weak" ... joking that if he was on the other end, he'd have guessed dolphin semen was in the beaker.

Jason Oppenheim says NFL players would make great realtors ... and he's already hoping one of the league's biggest superstars will eventually join his team one day!!

"Aaron Rodgers," he told TMZ Sports out in LA on Friday. "Absolutely!"

The "Selling Sunset" star says he's convinced guys playing in Roger Goodell's world would do just fine in his ... explaining their contact list could lead them to some big scores in the housing market.

Oppenheim didn't say why Rodgers was currently his top choice to join The Oppenheim Group ... but he did tell us making it in real estate requires someone to be "smart" and "driven" -- two traits the Jets QB obviously possesses.

Oppenheim's talk with us about the NFL didn't stop there, though ... he also told us he would love to represent some footballers in their future hunts for homes -- hinting that some of his beloved Commanders might ultimately become his clients someday.

Two deputies are lucky to be alive after a Florida man intentionally accelerated his car and plowed into them while they were responding to a distress call from his mother.

The horrifically violent scene played out Thursday morning in suburban Tampa ... where the mother of the suspect, Ralph Bouzy, called cops to say her son was "behaving violently" at their home. Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies arrived and saw Bouzy sitting behind the wheel of car in his driveway.

Cops say Bouzy drove off, but returned 15 minutes later ... as 2 deputies were still there, standing near the foot of the driveway. A deputy's body cam captured the moment Bouzy stepped on the gas, sped up and smashed into the lawmen ... pinning one of them up against a patrol car.

After the impact, Bouzy got out of his car and walked toward other cops on the scene, refusing to surrender. He finally went down once they tasered him, and he was arrested.

It's a miracle the deputies -- Carlos Brito and Manuel Santos -- even survived the crash. Both sustained critical injuries that required surgery, and remain hospitalized.

Sheriff Chad Chronister said, "There is no other way to describe this other than an ambush. Our deputies put their lives on the line every day to protect this community and what happened today makes me absolutely sick."

Dos ayudantes del sheriff tienen suerte de estar vivo después de que un hombre de Florida acelera intencionalmente su carro y se estrellara contra ellos mientras estaban respondiendo a una desesperada llamada de socorro de su madre.

La violenta y horrible escena ocurrió el jueves por la mañana en los suburbios de Tampa, donde la madre del sospechoso Ralph Bouzy llamó a la policía para decirles que su hijo estaba "comportándose violentamente" en casa. Los oficiales del sheriff del condado de Hillsborough llegaron y vieron a Bouzy sentado al volante del carro en la entrada.

Los policías dicen que Bouzy se alejó, pero regresó 15 minutos después, mientras los dos oficiales seguían allí de pie de la calzada. La cámara de uno de ellos capturó el momento en que Bouzy pisó el acelerador y se estrelló contra los agentes de la ley, dejando a uno de ellos inmovilizado contra un carro patrulla.

Después del impacto, Bouzy salió del carro y fue hacia otros policías que estaban en la escena, negándose a rendirse. Finalmente, se dio por vencido cuando lo electrocutaron y fue arrestado.

Es un milagro que los agentes, Carlos Brito y Manuel Santos, sobrevivieran al accidente. Ambos sufrieron lesiones críticas, que requirieron cirugía y permanecen hospitalizados.

El sheriff Chad Chronister dijo: "No hay otra manera de describir esto que no sea una emboscada. Nuestros ayudantes se juegan la vida cada día para proteger a esta comunidad y lo que ha ocurrido hoy me pone absolutamente enfermo".

Los agentes del sheriff de Los Ángeles respondieron a una llamada de la casa de Chet Hanks en el área de Los Ángeles las primeras horas del lunes después de que un hombre intentó entrar en su propiedad, TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que antes de que llegaran las autoridades, el hijo de Tom Hanks golpeó al hombre de 42 años de edad, después de encontrarlo tratando de entrar en su casa alrededor de las 3:00 AM. Cuando los oficiales llegaron trataron de ponerle las esposas al hombre y se resistió y continuó luchando.

Después de someter al sospechoso, los policías lo estaban llevando al carro cuando el sospechoso cayó hacia atrás sobre la pierna de un oficial, causándole una fractura en la pierna.

El sospechoso y el ayudante del sheriff fueron trasladados a un hospital local para ser examinados y el sospechoso fue fichado más tarde por robo.

Chet Hanks must defend his house, and he'll do it with his bare fists, as a man who was allegedly trying to get into Chet's place found out the hard way ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... before authorities arrived early Monday morning, Tom Hanks' son punched the 42-year-old suspect after finding him attempting to break in around 3:00 AM. When L.A. County Sheriff's deputies got on scene they tried to slap cuffs on the man, but he kept fighting.

Eventually, they subdued him enough to get cuffs on him ... but while leading him to the car, the guy fell backward onto one of the deputies, who ended up with a broken leg!!!

Both men had to be taken to a hospital for treatment. Once he was medically cleared, the suspect was booked for burglary. As for Chet ... at least physically, he was unscathed.

Kel Mitchell -- famous for his work on "Good Burger" as well as "Kenan & Kel" -- is currently hospitalized, TMZ has learned.

We know the actor was admitted into a Los Angeles-area hospital Tuesday night, coming in through the emergency room. A witness tells us Kel appeared to be conscious and alert when he arrived.

The cause of Kel's illness is unclear, but we do know as of Wednesday, he was still in the hospital getting treatment. It's unknown when he'll be released or what his current condition is.

We reached out to Kel's reps, who did not comment on his situation.

Kel's social media pages are still posting despite his hospital stay -- but it's mostly promotional material -- including his work on "Hollywood Squares" and upcoming flick, "Good Burger 2" ... so it's likely the posts were preplanned.

Fans know Kel got his start in the Nickelodeon series, "All That" in the 90's ... before teaming up with "SNL" star Kenan Thompson for "Kenan & Kel" -- the 2 also starred in "Good Burger" in the middle of their comedy show success ... with a sequel to the burger film dropping later this month.

Kel Mitchell —famoso por su trabajo en "Good Burger" y "Kenan & Kel"— se encuentra hospitalizado, TMZ ha indagado.

Sabemos que el actor fue ingresado en un hospital del área de Los Ángeles el martes por la noche que llegó a través de la sala de emergencias. Un testigo nos dice que Kel parecía estar consciente y alerta cuando llegó.

La causa de la enfermedad de Kel no está clara, pero sabemos que el miércoles todavía estaba en el hospital recibiendo tratamiento. Se desconoce cuándo será dado de alta o cuál es su estado actual.

Nos pusimos en contacto con los representantes de Kel, pero no hicieron comentarios sobre su situación.

Las páginas de Kel en las redes sociales siguen publicando a pesar de su estancia en el hospital, pero es sobre todo material promocional, incluyendo su trabajo en "Hollywood Squares" y la próxima película, "Good Burger 2", por lo que es probable que los mensajes fueron programados de antemano.

Los fans saben que Kel consiguió su inicio en la serie de Nickelodeon, "All That" en los años 90, antes de asociarse con la estrella de "SNL" Kenan Thompson para "Kenan & Kel". Ámbos protagonizaron "Good Burger" en medio de su éxitoso show de comedia, con una secuela de la película hamburguesa a finales de este mes.

Steve Wozniak has been hospitalized in Mexico City after taking ill and suffering what appears to be vertigo ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us, Woz gave a speech Wednesday in Mexico City at the World Business Forum, after which he told his wife he was "feeling strange." He then started exhibiting symptoms that alarmed his wife, who said he needed to go to the hospital.

We're told the 73-year-old cofounder of Apple resisted, saying he'd be OK, but his wife persisted and ultimately insisted he go to the hospital.

At the time of the post, we're told Steve is in the E.R. at a Mexico City hospital, where doctors are performing tests.

Several people from Steve's team are flying from the U.S. to Mexico City on a private jet, to see firsthand what is going on with him and take him back to the U.S. for further treatment if that's necessary.

Woz has been traveling a lot lately, but it's unclear if fatigue played a part in the medical emergency.

Steve Wozniak ha sido hospitalizado en Ciudad de México después de enfermar y sufrir lo que parece ser vértigo, según ha indagado TMZ.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que Woz dio un discurso este miércoles en la capital mexicana, en el marco del World Business Forum, después de lo cual le dijo a su esposa que se estaba "sintiendo extraño."

Entonces empezó a mostrar síntomas que alarmaron a su mujer, quien le dijo que tenía que ir al hospital.

Nos dicen que el cofundador de Apple, de 73 años, se resistió, asegurando que estaría bien, pero su esposa persistió y finalmente logró que fuera.

En el momento de la publicación, nos dicen que Steve está en urgencias en un hospital de Ciudad de México, donde los médicos están realizando pruebas.

Varias personas del equipo de Steve están volando desde Estados Unidos en un jet privado, para ver de primera mano lo que está pasando con él y llevarlo de vuelta para recibir tratamiento adicional si es necesario.

Woz ha estado viajando mucho últimamente, pero no está claro si la fatiga jugó un papel en la emergencia médica.

El excompañero de A$AP Rocky en Mob, quien asegura que Rocky le disparó hace dos años, acaba de testificar que también amenazó con matarlo antes de apretar el gatillo.

Terell Ephron, quien iba como A$AP Relli cuando estaba junto a la cuadrilla de Rocky, subió al estrado el miércoles en una audiencia preliminar para el caso de asalto en Los Ángeles.

Por supuesto, Relli es el testigo clave y supuesta víctima aquí, por lo que fue bajo juramento para explicar lo que ocurrió el 6 de noviembre de 2021. Asegura que su viejo amigo abrió fuego contra él y le golpeó la mano con al menos uno de los disparos.

En la corte, Relli recordó cuando se reunieron por primera vez y cómo se formó A$AP Mob entonces, pero también describió cómo su relación comenzó a deshilacharse cuando la carrera de Rocky se disparó, mientras otros en el grupo fueron dejados un poco de lado.

Relli dice que empezó a resentir Rocky para los movimientos que percibía como deshonesto, como la supuesta promesa de ayudar a mantener la familia de un miembro de A$AP Mob asesinado lo que Rocky nunca hizo, según Relli. La mala sangre supuestamente llegó a un punto crítico esa fatídica noche.

Según Relli, Rocky lo llamó y le preguntó dónde estaba. Acabaron encontrándose en un hotel de Los Ángeles, lo que él pensó que podría ser una buena oportunidad para terminar con sus rencillas. En cambio, Relli afirma que Rocky y algunos matones se abalanzaron sobre él, y las cosas se calentaron.

Relli afirma que se intercambiaron palabras duras. Rocky puso el arma en su estómago, supuestamente diciendo: "Te voy a matar ahora mismo". Relli declaró que Rocky no disparó en ese momento, pero afirma que las balas empezaron a volar poco después de que se separaron.

En ese momento, Relli dice que sintió cómo se le calentaba la mano y supo que le habían dado. Alega que Rocky disparó unas cuatro veces antes de salir corriendo y dejarlo allí en la calle. Relli dice que no fue a la policía hasta el día siguiente por miedo.

Como les contamos, Rocky ya se ha declarado inocente de dos cargos de asalto con un arma de fuego semiautomática. Los policías rodearon su casa el año pasado y llevaron a cabo una redada justo después de que aterrizara en Los Ángeles de un viaje a Barbados en el que estaba con Rihanna.

Rocky también estuvo en el tribunal hoy, y escuchó todo el testimonio de Relli. Fue visto al salir a almorzar durante un descanso. La sesión se reanudará el jueves por la tarde.

6:16 PM PT -- Rocky's high-powered attorney, Joe Tacopina, grilled Relli on cross in court today ... and it proved to be a combative back-and-forth that delved into the alleged victim's personal history with Rocky -- including the nitty-gritty of what led to them falling out ... as well as how, exactly, he came to report the alleged crime and when.

The whole purpose of this questioning, it seems, was to get Relli to admit that he seemingly dragged his feet in raising this issue with law enforcement ... with the implication being that he may have had ulterior motives. That's certainly what Tacopina was driving at, anyway.

Relli, meanwhile, reiterated he only waited a bit to report this out of fear of retaliation ... and insisted he was a gunshot victim, period. He also denied trying to extract money out of this situation. Like we said, the exchanges were testy ... and it proved to be heated at times.

Now, a source directly familiar with the proceedings today tells us they feel like Relli got exposed, and that his case likely won't hold up in front of a jury due to inconsistencies addressed in the prelim. Of course, time will tell if that actually comes to pass.

5:10 PM PT -- A$AP Rocky's first day in court for his criminal trial appears to have just wrapped, 'cause the dude just left the building ... and he's looking cool and confident on his way out.

Check out this video of Rocky cruising out of the front doors of the DTLA courthouse he's been in all day ... where one of his former A$AP Mob members testified he shot him 2 years ago. As you can see, AR was in a damn good mood ... signing autographs and smiling wide.

From the looks of it, he's not all that worried about this case ... despite how serious it is.

A$AP Rocky's former fellow Mob member -- who claims Rocky shot him 2 years ago -- just testified Rocky also threatened to kill before pulling the trigger.

Terell Ephron -- who went by A$AP Relli when he was rolling with Rocky's crew -- took the stand Wednesday in a preliminary hearing to AR's assault case in Los Angeles.

Of course, Relli is the key witness/alleged victim here ... so he went under oath to explain what he alleges happened on Nov. 6, 2021 -- which is that his old pal opened fire on him and struck his hand with at least one of the shots.

While in court, Relli recounted how he and Rocky first came together and how A$AP Mob formed back in the day -- but also described how their relationship started to fray when Rocky's career skyrocketed, as others in the group were kinda left behind.

Relli says he began resenting Rocky for moves he perceived as dishonest, such as allegedly promising to help support a slain A$AP Mob member's family ... which Relli claims Rocky never did. All their bad blood allegedly came to a head that fateful night.

According to Relli, Rocky called him and demanded to know where he was, and they ended up meeting at an L.A. hotel -- which he thought might be a chance to squash their beef. Instead, Relli claims Rocky and some goons rolled up on him ... and things got heated, with a gun allegedly being drawn.

Relli claims harsh words were exchanged, and Rocky put the gun to his stomach ... allegedly saying, "I'll kill you right now." Relli testified Rocky didn't shoot right then and there, but claims the bullets started flying shortly thereafter as they separated.

At that point, Relli says he felt his hand get hot and knew he'd been hit ... and alleges Rocky fired around 4 times before taking off running and leaving him there on the street. Relli says he didn't go to cops until a full day later out of fear.

As we told you ... Rocky has already pleaded not guilty to 2 counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm. Cops swarmed his pad last year and conducted a raid right after he landed back in L.A. from a Barbados trip he was on with Rihanna.

Rocky himself is in court today and heard all of Relli's testimony -- he was seen stepping outside during a lunch break ... and they're set to resume the hearing on November 20.

No sign of RiRi anywhere ... looks like Rocky's dealing with all this with just his lawyers at the moment.

Francis Ngannou isn't sending mixed signals ... he wants a rematch with Tyson Fury next, and if that means waiting a few months until The Gypsy King fights Oleksandr Usyk, he tells TMZ Sports that's exactly what he'll do!

The 37-year-old combat sports superstar joined Michael Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" show (airs weeknights on FS1) ... where the guys talked about Francis' future in the ring now that he's the hottest commodity in the sport.

"I would be willing to wait [for Fury to fight Usyk]. I know that they are going to fight, they had a contract already, so they are going to fight sometime in February instead of December 23, which is my fault," Ngannou said smiling ... "I shouldn't have cut him. He would've fought December 23, and maybe we would've run it back early next year."

Of course, Francis is referring to the cut he opened up on Tyson's head ... a big reason he won't be able to turn around and fight in less than 2 months. The cut has to heal.

So, a fight with Fury, barring the Usyk bout completely falling apart, will not happen until, at earliest, mid-2024.

In the meantime, Anthony Joshua, through his promoter Eddie Hearn, has said he's down to fight The Predator in Saudi Arabia on December 28. We asked Ngannou if he was interested.

"First of all, it's too soon. Secondly, my focus, as boxing is concerned, is a rematch with Tyson. That's the most important thing for me right now, everything else for boxing comes after."

In addition to AJ, Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker are names that have been thrown out as possible future opponents for Ngannou.

All this doesn't necessarily mean Francis won't fight before Fury ... he just won't box. Remember, Ngannou is signed to PFL (as a fighter and Chairman of PFL Africa).

Last week we spoke to PFL CEO Peter Murray ... who previewed some of the promotion's plans for their superstar fighter.

There's also much more with Francis ... from whether he believes Fury trained for him to how his life has changed since the epic performance.
