Steelers' Skylar Thompson jumped, robbed in Dublin; QB suffers minor injuries
NFL ^ | September 28, 2025 | Around the NFL Staff

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson was jumped and robbed Friday night in Dublin, Ireland, ahead of Pittsburgh's Week 4 game against the Minnesota Vikings, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Sunday morning, per sources.

Thompson, who is on injured reserve, suffered minor injuries but is OK and with the team, Pelissero added.

"We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson on Friday night in Dublin," a Steelers spokesman told Pelissero. "We will have no further comment at this time as we are working with NFL security to gather more information regarding the incident."

Thompson, 28, is in his fourth season in the NFL and his first in Pittsburgh. Thompson was placed on IR with a hamstring injury on Sept. 10.

Sunday's Steelers-Vikings game is the first NFL regular-season game to be played in Ireland. It's the second of seven international games to be played this season.

Pittsburgh and Minnesota kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET from Croke Park on NFL Network.

Nice outcome! Good job Steelers! 🏈

Pittsburgh Steelers, 24, 3-1
Minnesota Vikings, 21, now 2-2

Lions must be on broadcast by now. Gramps Flacco is leading the Browns (btw, a great idea, imho), Cleveland has a tough defense, current score (as of a minute ago) was zero to zero.

There was a time that a few Euro-faggots jumping an NFL player woulda gone differently.

After a more in-depth investigation, authorities determined that it was a "mostly peaceful" jumping and robbery.

Also, no charges will be filed against Mr Thompson for having waaaay more money than his "mostly peaceful" attackers.

At least twice a former heavyweight champ in or around his seventies was mugged by a young punk and the punk ended up looking like he got hit by a bus. Dempsey was one but I can’t recall the other boxer.

I wouldn’t expect any Europeans to be involved in this at all.
