Former NFL player and current FOX Sports analyst Mark Sanchez is recovering in the hospital after he was reportedly stabbed in Indianapolis ahead of Sunday’s game between the Colts and Las Vegas Raiders. 

FOX Sports released a statement confirming that Sanchez was in “stable condition.” The statement did not say the nature of the incident that led to his injury. 

“Mark Sanchez was injured in Indianapolis on Saturday and is currently recovering in the hospital in stable condition. 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.”

TMZ Sports first reported that Sanchez was injured in a stabbing early Saturday morning. 

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News Digital in a statement that it was investigating a “physical disturbance” that took place just after midnight near Senate Avenue and West Washington Street.

According to police, two men were involved in the incident. One suffered “lacerations” and the other sustained injuries “consistent with stab wounds.” The stabbing victim, believed to be Sanchez, was hospitalized and is in stable condition. 

Investigators said the incident was “isolated” and “not a random act of violence.” The two men were not identified by law enforcement other than not being “local residents.” 

Sanchez, a 10-year NFL veteran most notably for the New York Jets, was scheduled to call Sunday’s game between the Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders at Lucas Oil Stadium, TMZ reported.
