Brandon Marshall Stabbed By Wife, Expected To Fully Recover

by Christopher Gates on Apr 23, 2011 11:36 AM CDT in NFL

Miami Dolphins' wide receiver Brandon Marshall was stabbed by his wife, Michi, on Friday night. He was taken to intensive care with a stab wound in the stomach, and surgery was performed, but according to sources no vital organs were hit.

Marshall is expected to be released from the hospital today, and will be fully recovered in two to three weeks. So, from the non-football side of things, that's very good news. However, it appears that Marshall may have lied to police about being stabbed by his wife and/or the incidents that led up to the stabbing, according to Pro Football Talk, so he may be in just as much hot water as his wife.

On the football side, In this instance, we see one of the major caveats of the lockout coming into play. . .the Dolphins invested heavily in Marshall in terms of a contract and draft picks, and now they are unable to have any contact with him due to the rules surrounding the lockout. The team doctor can have contact with Marshall, but that's just about it.

I heard something about him on the way to work today on the radio

This is what Phinsider has as a portion of the police report:

On April 22, 2011, the above listed defendant did unlawfully and intentionally arm herself with a kitchen knife and stab the victim in the abdomen. The victim and the defendant have been married for approximately one year and have been involved as a couple for approximately two and one half years and have no children together. The victim provided sworn testimony advising that he slipped and fell onto a broken glass vase; however, the area of where the vase was broken indicated no blood within the immediate area to substantiate his claim. However, the defendant was read Miranda on scene wherein post Miranda she stated she stabbed the victim out of self defense. Photographs were taken of the scene and of the victim. Both the victim and the defendant provided scant information regarding the incident itself; however, based upon the post Miranda statement and the injuries to the victim; the defendant was taken into custody for the above listed charge.

Some people court trouble

And others marry it. Brandon Marshall certain has had his fair share. This isn’t the first time that Marshall has had to have surgery to repair something he injured while hanging out with family. Maybe management should consider adding a “no family” clause in his next contract.
