Miami Dolphins' Brandon Marshall in hospital after being stabbed

? Wide receiver was stabbed in the stomach
? Wife arrested for aggravated battery

The Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall is expected to make a full recovery after he was stabbed and his wife arrested for assault.

ESPN reported that Marshall had been stabbed in the stomach by a woman and taken to Broward General Hospital where he was treated in an intensive care unit. According to Broward County Sheriff's Office documents, his wife Michi Nogami Marshall was arrested on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. The documents classified the incident as domestic violence.

"This is a very difficult time for Brandon and family. Thankfully, he will make a full recovery," Marshall's agents, Kennard McGuire and Harvey Steinberg, said in a statement. "We simply ask that his privacy is respected."

Marshall's friend, the Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Mike Sims-Walker said on Twitter: "Brandon will be ok and is in good spirits."

Although a talented player, Marshall's career has often been controversial. While with the Denver Broncos he was suspended by the league before the start of the 2008 campaign for off-field issues and he was banned by the Broncos for conduct detrimental to the team during the 2009 training camp.
