No explanation for the move was given.
Sanchez’s case will now be heard by Judge James B. Obsorn … who rescheduled the former NFL quarterback’s impending pretrial conference from Nov. 5 to Oct. 22. The records show Sanchez will be allowed to attend the proceedings remotely.
Sanchez, as you know, is facing four criminal charges, including one felony count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury … after he allegedly got into a violent spat with a delivery truck driver in Indianapolis on Oct. 4.
Sanchez is accused of shoving the man to the ground during the dispute. He sustained stab wounds during the incident — and only just recently got out of the hospital.

Sanchez has only spoken briefly to the public about the matter — telling a local reporter over the weekend he’s thankful for the first responders, focused on recovery and healing slowly.
