Eagles WR Zach Pascal robbed and assaulted at gunpoint in Maryland, according to police
The Eagles are happy Pascal is "doing fine" after police told news outlets that he was robbed and assaulted early Friday.
Eagles wide receiver Zach Pascal was robbed and assaulted at gunpoint in his native Upper Marlboro, Md., early Friday, Prince George’s County police told WJLA.
Pascal was allegedly held at gunpoint by two unidentified subjects who took his diamond necklace, police told 6ABC. The 28-year-old was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
“I appreciate those who are reaching out,” Pascal posted on Instagram on Saturday. “Trust me we are good.”
The Eagles said in a statement they were aware of the matter, adding, “We have been in contact with Zach and are happy to hear he is doing fine.”
Pascal signed a one-year deal with the Eagles last offseason and caught 15 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown while serving as a reserve wide receiver and special teams player. Before that, he played for the Indianapolis Colts for four seasons and developed a strong relationship with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni during Sirianni’s tenure as the Colts’ offensive coordinator.
