Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports broadcaster Mark Sanchez was hospitalized in Indianapolis and is in stable condition after being injured Saturday, according to Fox Sports. Multiple reports indicate that Sanchez was stabbed during an incident early Saturday morning.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a request for information on an incident involving Sanchez by directing The Athletic to a post it made on social media Saturday.

“IMPD is investigating a physical disturbance that happened near Senate Avenue and West Washington Street on October 4, 2025, around 12:30 a.m. The incident involved two adult males, resulting in one man receiving lacerations and the other sustaining injuries consistent with stab wounds. Detectives believe this was an isolated incident between the two men and not a random act of violence,” the statement said. “Both individuals, who are not local residents, have been identified. IMPD Aggravated Assault detectives are continuing the investigation and have reviewed video footage of the incident. Both men received medical treatment. The man with the apparent stab wounds remains hospitalized in stable condition.”
In its statement, Fox Sports said 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.”
Sanchez was in the city to cover Sunday’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders as part of Fox’s broadcast team. He attended the Colts’ practice on Friday. The No. 5 draft pick in the 2009 NFL draft joined the network in July 2021 as a game analyst.
During his nine-year tenure in the league, the former USC Trojan spent four seasons with the New York Jets, who drafted him. He went on to briefly play for the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears before retiring with Washington.
The Jets shared a message of support for Sanchez on X shortly after reports of his hospitalization surfaced.
“Sending our thoughts and love to Mark Sanchez and his family. Hoping for a speedy recovery, 6,” the team’s post said, referring to his jersey number.

It goes without saying that the Nittany Lions coaching job is one of the best in college football, and with its high-profile nature comes a lengthy list of premium options to replace Franklin.The next Penn State coach will be tasked with achieving what Franklin could not -- that is regularly getting past the Big Ten's […]
