Another NFL robbery has been revealed as part of the recent string of break-ins into homes of the league stars, as Cowboys’ defender Linval Joseph’s house was subject to a burglary last month.
Joseph’s Minnesota home being robbed in November is at least the fourth known break-in to an NFL player’s house since the beginning of October, with the Kansas City-area residences of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce being targeted.
The string of robberies was again launched into the headlines earlier this week when the Ohio home of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was broken into.
The robberies are believed to be connected to a South American crime syndicate, per the NFL.
According to local police, Joseph’s home was targeted on November 18, the day of Dallas’ home loss to the Texans.
Joseph has chosen not to speak out on the matter, like his NFL contemporaries have.
In October, the homes of Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were robbed during NFL games

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has his car broken into last year and issued a stern warning to anyone hoping to add him to the list of NFL players who have had their homes burglarized.
‘It was a little too close for my comfort with my family being in the house. So we got personal security to take care of all of that. When we’re on the road, we’ve got someone with my wife, got someone also at the house, surveying the house,’ Tagovailoa said.
‘Just let that be know. They are armed so I hope that if you decide to go to my house, you think twice.’
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said earlier this week that the league’s security department is in contact with the FBI over the burglaries.
Joseph is based in Minnesota after spending five years with the Vikings earlier in his career.
No resolution has come from any of the burglaries to NFL stars.
