INDIANAPOLIS Several reports, including ESPN and TMZ, have indicated that former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez has been involved in a stabbing in downtown Indianapolis early Saturday morning.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, just after 12:30 a.m., officers responded to the 300 block of W. Washington Street on the report of a person stabbed.

FOX59/CBS4 has obtained information saying Sanchez was stabbed and is currently recovering in the hospital.

It is not yet clear whether he was the victim or the suspect.

According to IMPD, a physical disturbance happened that involved two males with one man receiving “lacerations” and the other sustaining injuries consistent with stab wounds.

Both individuals were not local residents, IMPD said.

Sanchez was scheduled to broadcast the Colts vs. Raiders game at Lucas Oil Stadium with FOX Sports on Sunday.

Sanchez, a 38-year-old former New York Jets quarterback, starred at USC from 2005-2008 and was selected 5th overall by the Jets in the 2009 NFL Draft.

FOX59/CBS4 reached out to FOX Sports, who responded with the following statement.

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.
