New details emerge in reported robbery involving Steelers' Skylar Thompson in Dublin


Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said that the Steelers’ defense is capable of "historic things". Colin Cowherd asks if the Steelers are too reliant on their defense.

An alleged incident involving Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson in Dublin last week took a new twist on Monday as the team got back to the U.S.

Irish police said a formal complaint had not been filed in connection to reports that Thompson was assaulted and robbed in Dublin while his team prepared to play the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL’s first regular-season game in the country.

An Garda Síochána, the national police, said it did not have information to substantiate the robbery report involving Thompson.

The NFL Network reported Thompson was robbed and suffered minor injuries in the incident. Irish media reported "a number of males were involved in an assault on Thompson near the Temple Bar area" and that his phone was stolen.

Police said officers became involved early Saturday when they encountered a man who required medical assistance.

"The male in his 20s was treated and assessed at the scene by emergency services personnel," police said without commenting further about the assault report.

The Steelers issued a statement on the incident.
