Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez is currently hospitalized in stable condition following a stabbing incident in Indianapolis, where he was also arrested for his involvement. The 38-year-old, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft for the New York Jets, was in the city to commentate on the Colts vs. Las Vegas Raiders game for Fox Sports. According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the incident involved a physical altercation between two men, resulting in one sustaining lacerations and the other, Sanchez, suffering stab wounds. Police later confirmed that Sanchez had been arrested on charges of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication. Fox Sports released a statement expressing gratitude to the medical team for their care and requesting privacy for Sanchez and his family. The New York Jets also shared a message of support on social media, wishing Sanchez a speedy recovery. Sanchez, who wore number six during his five seasons with the Jets, led the team to two consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances. Over his 10-year career, which included stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, and Washington Commanders, he threw for 15,357 yards, 86 touchdowns, and 89 interceptions. After retiring in 2019, Sanchez transitioned to broadcasting, first with ESPN and later with Fox Sports in 2021.
