Good news from Jaguars O-lineman Kelvin Beachum's father ... who tells TMZ Sports his son is expected to be released from the hospital soon after sustaining a concussion against the Chargers.

During the 3rd quarter, Beachum was kicked in the head by an opposing player and laid motionless on the ground for several minutes before getting carted off the field.

We spoke to Kelvin Beachum Sr., who talked to Kelvin this morning and says "he's doing much better."

"It was pretty scary seeing your son laying on the field for a long period of time," Kelvin Sr. says. "They're still running tests on him right now. They'll keep him for the rest of the day and then he'll be able to go home."

He's 49 years old, but WWE legend Bill Goldberg says there's a real chance he could get back in the ring ... as a pro kickboxer.

He's been offered fights in the past -- including a 2015 match with ex-WWE star Alberto Del Rio -- but turned it down at the time saying he needed more training.

But Goldberg -- who owns a Muay Thai gym in California -- just appeared on Submission Radio Australia and said he's still entertaining the idea of fighting for GLORY kickboxing.

"I don’t think the door will ever be closed on that," Goldberg said.

"Even at 49 years old I still really enjoy doing it. I really enjoy learning, I’m a student of the martial art and I’m a student of what it stands for and it’s become kind of a way of life for me. It’s an addiction and it satiates a lot of things for me and it also gives me a challenge. So never say never. You never say never."

**CELEBRITY FANTASY FOOTBALL ALERT**

If you're ready to drop Russell Wilson after that terrible game against the Rams ... WAIT!

Chris Pratt strongly advises you to keep him on your fantasy team -- and moments ago in NYC, he explained why.

A congressman from New York has a message for Colin Kaepernick -- YOU'RE WELCOME FOR CATCHING THE NY BOMBING SUSPECT.

Rep. Lee Zeldin -- an Iraq war veteran who now serves in the U.S. Army Reserve -- went to Twitter Monday after cops arrested Ahmad Khan Rahami in connection with the bombings in NYC and Seaside Park, N.J.

His message -- "Suspect in custody. You are welcome Colin Kaepernick."

Derrick Rose says he's sick and tired of his rape accuser bashing him to the media -- and he's now begging a judge to force her to reveal her identity once and for all.

We broke the story, the NBA superstar is being sued by a woman using the pseudonym "Jane Doe" -- who claims Rose and his friends gang raped her back in 2013.

New England Pats owner Bob Kraft came face-to-face with one of his most famous ex-WRs this weekend, Wes Welker ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Turns out, the two both happened to be dining at Capo Restaurant in Boston (a pro athlete hot spot) on Saturday night -- before the Patriots took on the Dolphins at Gillette Stadium.

We're told the owner of the place told Wes that Bob was dining in another section of the restaurant -- and Wes decided to go pay his old boss a visit.

A restaurant spokesperson tells us both Wes and Kraft left their parties and sat down at their own table -- where they talked by themselves for roughly 30 minutes and drank martinis.

Unclear what they talked about -- but Welker was telling staffers that he was in town to throw with Tom Brady ... which he did.

The next day, Welker went to the game ... dressed in a Tom Brady mask ... and the fans LOVED it.

Anthony Bourdain has split with Ottavia Busia, his wife of 9 years ... but the two are still on pretty good terms, all things considered.

Sources close to the celebrity chef say the relationship hasn't been hot for quite some time now ... but they remain close. They married in 2007. They have a 9-year-old daughter together.

Ottavia -- a trained jiu-jitsu fighter -- implied Anthony's demanding travel schedule for his show 'Parts Unknown' played a role in the split.

"Because of professional decisions we both have made, my husband and I have been for years in an unconventional relationship. Nothing has changed. We love each other," she said in a statement to Page Six.

"We respect the decisions the other has made. And we’ll always consider ourselves a family."

As for Anthony -- who also trains in MMA -- he isn't talking about the split, but was out with Nate and Nick Diaz over the weekend.

Steve Rannazzisi -- who starred on a show about FANTASY FOOTBALL for 7 SEASONS -- says he's officially quitting fantasy football forever ... and he's being completely serious.

Of course, Steve played Kevin on "The League" -- the FXX show about a bunch of friends in an FF league together ... it guest starred a ton of real NFL players including Adrian Peterson, Antonio Gates, J.J. Watt.

But when we got Steve out in L.A. over the weekend, he explained why he's sworn off fantasy for good.

Another night, another shot of Lindsey Vonn in a smokin' hot dress in West Hollywood ... this time, hitting the Emmy party scene with Kate Beckinsale.

Vonn attended the Emmys earlier in the night in a burgundy dress -- but after a quick wardrobe change, was back on the scene at The Nice Guy.

Lindsey's worked damn hard for that physique -- besides being a world class skier, she's been showing off her squat sessions on Instagram.

You done messed up, Tiger Woods.

Here it is -- your first shot of Tim Tebow in a real NY Mets jersey ... sporting his old football jersey number as he made his debut at The Fall Instructional League in Florida.

The 29-year-old former NFL quarterback arrived to the NY Mets minor league facility in Port St. Lucie -- where his MLB journey will begin.

Tebow got a $100,000 signing bonus as part of his contract with the team. Now, it's time to see if he can actually play.

He may have been supporting the home team, but LeBron James still got a bunch of crap from Rams fans at the Coliseum on Sunday ... getting peppered with "Kobe!" chants from the stands.

Besides James, there was a TON of huge stars at the Rams game -- the first NFL home game in Los Angeles in years -- including Magic Johnson, Ty Burrell, Flea, Anthony Kiedis, CeeLo, James Corden and more!

Here we go again ... another MLB club hazing the rookies by making them hit an L.A. nightclub dressed as women. This time, it's the San Francisco Giants.

TMZ Sports has footage of rookie pitchers Derek Law and Albert Suarez at Hyde on the Sunset Strip -- in backless dresses with wigs.

The guys seemed to have fun doing it ... but the cross-dressing hazing has been under fire from certain LGBT orgs for a while which say the practice sends a dangerous message to kids.

In the past, everyone from the Oakland As to the Miami Marlins have taken part in cross-dressing hazing.

FYI, the NY Mets found a different way to haze their rookies last year -- sending them out dressed as male superheroes in full costume.

Sacramento Kings star Ty Lawson says he's got something in common with Colin Powell and the DNC -- HE'S BEEN HACKED ... and Lawson claims the cyber thieves are now trying to extort him.

How bad do skateboarding injuries hurt? Bad enough to willingly go a round with an MMA superstar in the Octagon ... 'cause Ryan Sheckler says he'd rather take a punch from Conor McGregor than relive his worst encounter with concrete.

Sheckler -- who has had his fair share of skating injuries -- says the temporary pain from getting KO'd wouldn't even come close to what he's gone through.

"You gotta feel like I'd be knocked down in 10 seconds," Sheckler says. "The skateboarding injuries suck. The concrete sucks. So if I can get hit real quick and out, I'll take that."

"It just seems a lot simpler ... and no recovery time at the end."

Basketball player Deja Mattox can hit the beach -- and a jumper -- and looks damn fine doing both.

We got the former Indiana State star in Playa Del Rey soaking up the sun before heading over to the court to have a ball.

Floyd Mayweather has yet to take a side in the National Anthem protest ... but his TMT sponsored youth football squad showed their support by taking a knee as a team.

One of the coaches of the Las Vegas Red Lions posted the video ... saying the kids decided on their own to protest.

We spoke to the manager of the team, Coach Macc, who said "it was shocking to see that these 6 years olds knew what was going on." Macc said the coaching staff discussed it with the kids and made sure "they understood why Colin Kaepernick is doing it."

The move by the team has been embraced by most and criticized by others ... but you've got to admit it's more respectful than what Chris Brown did.

Macc said Floyd funds all the uniforms and provides tutors for the football program, which has over 240 kids. Mayweather was not present during the game.
