Steelers star reportedly robbed and assaulted in Dublin ahead of NFL game at Croke Park

Not a good look for the city.

The NFL giants are in town to face the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park on Sunday, September 28, in what is the first regular-season NFL game to be hosted in Ireland.

Thompson is a reserve quarterback for his side, and is not in line to feature against the Vikings.

NFL journalist, Tom Pelissero, gave an update on his injuries suffered during the incident, and provided a statement from a Steelers spokesman.

Pelissero wrote: "The #Steelers’ trip to Dublin wasn’t without some drama: Sources say backup QB Skylar Thompson got jumped and robbed Friday night in Dublin. Thompson, who is on injured reserve, suffered minor injuries but is OK and with the team.

"Statement from Steelers Spokesman Burt Lauten: “We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson on Friday night in Dublin. We will have no further comment at this time as we are working with NFL security to gather more information regarding the incident.”
