Mark Sanchez Shares Family Message as Indianapolis Case Heads to March Court Date

His Instagram thanks marked a rare public moment before his March court date.

Overview

  • Sanchez posted photos of his wife, Perry Mattfeld, and their twin daughters with a note of gratitude, his most personal update since the October altercation.
  • Mattfeld publicly acknowledged the post with a supportive comment, as current and former NFL figures also left messages of encouragement.
  • Sanchez has pleaded not guilty to one felony count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury and three misdemeanors tied to the Indianapolis incident.
  • Police and court filings cite surveillance video showing Sanchez grabbing and throwing 69-year-old delivery driver Perry Tole, who told officers he stabbed Sanchez in self-defense; both were treated at local hospitals.
  • Fox Sports confirmed Sanchez was fired last month and later installed Drew Brees as his replacement, while Tole’s civil lawsuit names Sanchez, Fox, and Huse Culinary, with the criminal hearing rescheduled from December to March 2026.
