Mark Sanchez Returns to Social Media With Family Message After Indianapolis Stabbing Case

His brief return to Instagram follows weeks of silence during recovery, with a felony battery trial set for March 2026.

Overview

  • Sanchez posted photos of his wife, actress Perry Mattfeld, and their twin daughters, writing that he is grateful to be home and with his family.
  • Mattfeld publicly signaled support by commenting on the post, her first noted response since his October arrest.
  • He faces one Level 5 felony count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and three misdemeanors, and he has pleaded not guilty.
  • Court records and police filings cite surveillance video indicating Sanchez was the aggressor, while delivery driver Perry Tole says he stabbed Sanchez in self-defense.
  • Tole has filed a civil lawsuit naming Sanchez, Fox Sports, and the restaurant operator, and Fox confirmed last month that Sanchez is no longer with the network.
