Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez has been released from hospital and prison after he was stabbed in Indianapolis and arrested for his role in the incident.<\/b><\/p>\n
In a condition set by a judge, the 38-year-old had to be processed, which involved him having his fingerprints recorded and a head and shoulders photo taken, at Marion County Jail after leaving hospital.<\/p>\n
He was then released and briefly spoke to a reporter, saying he was slowly recovering from multiple stab wounds to his torso. <\/p>\n
“Sorry I can’t answer all your questions,” he said, adding that his recovery would be “a long process”.<\/p>\n
Sanchez, a pundit for Fox Sports since 2021, was in Indianapolis to commentate on a game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, 5 October.<\/p>\n
However, in a statement the previous day, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said it was investigating a “physical disturbance” involving two adult males “resulting in one man receiving lacerations and the other sustaining injuries consistent with stab wounds”.<\/p>\n
In a second statement, police said Sanchez remained in hospital but had been arrested for “battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication”.<\/p>\n
Fox Sports said: “Mark Sanchez was injured in Indianapolis on Saturday and is currently recovering in the hospital in stable condition.”<\/p>\n
Sanchez was the fifth overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft for the New York Jets.<\/p>\n
In his five seasons with the Jets, where he wore the number six, Sanchez guided them to two consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances.<\/p>\n
Across his 10-year career – which also included spells at the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, the Chicago Bears and the Washington Commanders – he threw for 15,357 yards with 86 touchdowns and 89 interceptions.<\/p>\n
After retiring in 2019, he started a broadcasting career with ESPN before moving to Fox two years later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
