Irish police report no formal filing to support the robbery claim, leaving the status of the incident unresolved.

Overview

  • Media reports said Skylar Thompson was assaulted around 2:30 a.m. near Temple Bar and that his phone was taken.
  • Gardaí said officers encountered a man in his 20s on Dame Street who was treated at the scene, and they have no information to substantiate a robbery without a complaint.
  • The Steelers said they are working with NFL security to gather information, and the NFL Players Association said it is actively collecting details and supporting Thompson.
  • Thompson, who is on injured reserve, sustained minor injuries, did not require hospitalization, and rejoined teammates for the game at Croke Park.
  • A teammate said players were confined to the hotel the following night, while Irish officials urged that any victim report incidents and debated broader city-centre safety.
