Skylar Thompson, the backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was jumped and robbed on Friday night, September 26, 2025, in Dublin, Ireland, while the team was preparing for their Week 4 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Thompson suffered minor injuries in the incident but is reported to be okay and remained with the team for the game. The Steelers confirmed awareness of the situation and are working with NFL security to gather more information. Thompson is currently on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury unrelated to the robbery. Despite the incident, he was seen with the team during the game in Dublin, the first regular-season NFL game played in Ireland.
