Who Should I Start? Skylar Thompson or Riley Leonard

Sunday, September 28, 11:25 AM

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson (hamstring) was robbed on Friday night in Dublin, Ireland. Pelissero noted that the quarterback suffered minor injuries but is "ok" and is with the team. Thompson is currently on the injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Steelers Spokesman Burt Lauten said, "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." The 28-year-old spent the 2024 season with the Miami Dolphins and went 21-for-33 with 187 passing yards and no passing scores or interceptions. He will remain the team's No. 3 QB when activated from IR behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Leonard was considered week-to-week after suffering a Grade 1 PCL sprain in his knee following Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but a full practice on Wednesday suggests he has a real chance to play in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending torn Achilles on Sunday, prompting the Colts to sign 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers for insurance at the position. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remains on Injured Reserve. It's unclear at this point whether it'll be Leonard or Rivers under center this weekend, and the Colts don't plan to make up their mind until later this week. Either way, Indy's offense takes a hit. Expect a lot of hand-offs to star running back Jonathan Taylor.
