Mark Sanchez won't return as Fox Sports analyst
Mark Sanchez will not return as a Fox Sports analyst as the former NFL quarterback faces trial stemming from his alleged attack on a truck driver last month.
A Fox Sports spokesperson confirmed to multiple outlets that Sanchez was no longer with the network, declining to comment further.
Sanchez had been off the air since the Oct. 4 incident at the Westin Hotel in downtown Indianapolis. He was in town for the weekend's game between the Colts and Raiders when he confronted the truck driver before allegedly attacking and injuring him.
Sanchez was stabbed in the chest in the incident and spent a week in a hospital. The trucker, who claims self-defense and has not been charged, is suing him and Fox Sports for unspecified damages.

Fox Sports officially parted ways with broadcaster and former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez, sources briefed on the decision told The Athletic.
“We can confirm that Mark Sanchez is no longer with the network,” a Fox spokesperson said. “There will be no further comment at this time.”
Brees, 46, will work as an analyst the rest of the year and is signed up to call games through at least next season. The move gives Fox a big-name one-two-three punch for its NFL Sunday game slate, with Brees joining top analysts Tom Brady and Greg Olsen.
