Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez has been hospitalized after he was reportedly stabbed on Friday night in Indianapolis.
The former NFL player is in “stable condition,” according to Fox, as he recovers ahead of Sunday’s game between the Colts and Las Vegas Raiders.
“Mark Sanchez was injured in Indianapolis on Saturday and is currently recovering in the hospital in stable condition,” said Fox Sports in a statement. “We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time.”
Sanchez was one of two injured people on a street in downtown Indianapolis, where police responded to a call around 12:30am, according to TMZ. The New York Jets alum was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
The outlet reported that the other man involved in the incident suffered lacerations, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. Although officials said it was an isolated incident, it was not immediately clear what led to the act of violence.
