Incident in Dublin: Skylar Thompson Robbed
Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Skylar Thompson found himself in a precarious situation while visiting Dublin, Ireland. During the team’s overseas trip ahead of their Week 4 game against the Minnesota Vikings, Thompson was reportedly “jumped and robbed” on Friday night. Despite suffering minor injuries, he is reportedly doing fine, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Official Statement from the Steelers
The Steelers have acknowledged the incident with a brief statement. “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,” said Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten. The team is closely collaborating with NFL security to get to the bottom of the matter.
Background on Skylar Thompson
Skylar Thompson, who joined the Steelers during the recent offseason, was engaged in a competitive battle for the backup quarterback position. After surpassing rookie Will Howard for the No. 3 quarterback spot due to Howard’s broken finger, Thompson continued to show promise. However, he is currently on injured reserve following Week 1 and is expected to remain sidelined through at least Week 5.
Thompson’s Career Path
Originally a seventh-round pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2022, Thompson has made noticeable strides in his career. He has appeared in 10 NFL games, starting in three of these contests. His journey reflects a determined push through the ranks of professional football, and the Steelers hope to see him back in action soon.
