Mark Sanchez is recovering after a chilling encounter.
The Fox Sports broadcaster, who played as a quarterback in the NFL from 2009 to 2018, is “in stable condition” after suffering injuries which resulted in him being hospitalized in Indianapolis Oct. 4.
“We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support,” the network said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) Oct. 4. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time.”
Sanchez’s agent Andrew Kessler confirmed his client’s condition, telling CBS News, “That is really all I know and can say.”
The 38-year-old was in the city to call Fox’s coverage of the Oct. 5 game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Local authorities said they are investigating a “physical disturbance” involving “two adult males, resulting in one man receiving lacerations and the other sustaining injuries consistent with stab wounds,” according to a statement from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
