Eagles news: Zach Pascal robbed, assaulted in Maryland
Perhaps the only drawback to following and reporting on an NFL franchise daily is there, are, sometimes, instances in which there is bad news to report. We regret to inform you that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Zach Pascal was reportedly robbed on Friday morning.
WPVI 6ABC News in Maryland reports that the fan favorite and Upper Marlboro native was assaulted and robbed at gunpoint during a visit to his old Maryland stomping ground.

Police reports from Prince George’s County state two assailants approached Zach early on Friday morning and took his diamond necklace after pointing a gun in his direction.
Following the assault, Pascal was treated at the scene by police and attending medical staff for a few minor injuries.
