The report came shortly before the Steelers were to face the Vikings of Minnesota in the first match of the NFL in the capital of Ireland.
Thompson has undergone minor injuries but is OK and with the team, NFL Network reported.
“We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson Friday evening in Dublin,” said a Steelers spokesperson, according to NFL Network. “We will no longer have comments at the moment because we are working with the safety of the NFL to collect more information concerning the incident.”
