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."
The NFLPA Players Association said in a statement, via Pelissero, "We are aware of the incident involving Skylar Thompson in Ireland and are relieved to know he is okay. The NFLPA is actively gathering more information and working to understand the full circumstances surrounding what took place.
"As always, our priority is the health and safety of our player members -- especially as we continue to work on player protections and well-being while playing international games -- and we will continue to support Skylar in any way he needs."
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 beat Minnesota, 24-21, on Sunday morning.
