TMZ is among the outlets reporting that ex-NFL player and current FOX Sports broadcaster Mark Sanchez was stabbed on Friday night in Indianapolis.
Though the details of the incident are unknown, Sanchez is reportedly hospitalized in stable condition.

Some outlets were also stating he is in critical condition, but Adam Schefter is reporting he is in stable condition.
Sanchez was scheduled to work the Week 5 NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Without details, it is difficult to speculate what may have happened, but it is a troubling and sad incident on the heels of last weekend’s robbery of Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Skylar Thompson as he traveled with the team to Dublin.
NFL Reacts
Former players Keyshawn Johnson and Eric Allen were among those sending up prayers for Sanchez.
Johnson calls it ridiculous that these incidents continue to happen and is concerned for his “USC brother.”
Allen calls Sanchez a “good person, somebody you want as a teammate in life or on the field. He is also a husband and a proud father.”
Emmanuel Acho wrote: “Trying not to freak out, but praying fervently for Mark’s healing. Praying for his wife Perry’s peace in the midst of this chaos, and praying for his whole family. Mark is one of the greatest men you’ll ever know.”
Victor Cruz wrote: “Praying for my brother Mark Sanchez! One of the nicest guys in the world man.”
