The wife of Brandon Marshall stabbed him with a kitchen knife, sheriff’s deputies said Saturday, and his publicist said the Miami Dolphins receiver was released from a hospital and would fully recover.

Michi Nogami-Marshall, 26, was arrested Friday evening and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

According to a Broward County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Nogami-Marshall told officers she was defending herself.

Marshall had earlier told officers he slipped and fell onto a broken glass vase, but the officers noted that evidence at the couple’s home didn’t substantiate that claim.

Nogami-Marshall was released from jail Saturday on $7,500 bail. It was unclear if she had an attorney.

“This is a very difficult time for Brandon and his family,” said Marshall’s Denver-based attorney, Harvey Steinberg. “Thankfully he’s going to be fine and be completely recovered with no ill effects of the situation. We’re just hoping people respect his privacy.”
