FOX Sports released a statement with the latest on <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/mark-sanchez-83551/">Mark Sanchez</a><a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/mark-sanchez-stabbed-in-indianapolis-currently-in-critical-condition-at-hospital/"> following his injuries from an Indianapolis stabbing late Friday night.</a> It was reported police responded to an incident just after midnight going into Saturday morning and Sanchez was a victim to a stabbing.



Initially reported to be in critical condition, FOX confirmed Sanchez was in “stable condition” and is recovering. He was in town scheduled to be on the call Sunday for the game between the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders.



“Mark Sanchez was injured in Indianapolis on Saturday and is currently recovering in the hospital in stable condition,” <a href="https://x.com/FOXSportsPR/status/1974532265561501810">the statement read.</a> “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 played 10 years in the NFL as a quarterback, notably for the New York Jets from 2009-13. He was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft out of <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/usc-trojans/">USC</a>.



Sanchez, Rex Ryan and a stout New York Jets’ defense led the way to back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances during his first two years. However, they didn’t see the same success over the next few seasons and Sanchez and the Jets were mocked <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82RIfy-gRa4">for the infamous “butt fumble” play in 2012.</a>



Sanchez did not play in 2013 due to injury and was eventually released. However, he saw a brief career resurgence with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 and ’15 under Chip Kelly, although the latter season he was primarily a backup before moving onto other franchies.



In 2014, taking over for an injured Nick Foles halfway through the year, Sanchez went 4-4 as a starter and played in nine games. He threw for 2,418 yards, 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a 64.1% completion percentage. However, the Eagles narrowly missed the playoffs at 10-6.



Following his tenure in Philadelphia, Sanchez had stints with the Dallas Cowboys (2016), Chicago Bears (2017) and Washington Redskins (2018). He would retire after the ’18 season and transitioned to television, initially for ESPN covering college football. Sanchez signed with FOX in 2021 and began calling action in the NFL.



At USC during his college career, Sanchez was a star, especially in 2008 when he was the full-time starter. Sanchez threw for 3,207 yards, 34 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 65.8% completion percentage.<a href="https://www.on3.com/"></a>
