Washington Redskins player Trent Williams’s home was robbed of some expensive jewelry while the team was playing a Sunday night game against the Oakland Raiders — and his family was home, according to people familiar with the incident.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office declined to identify who lived in the home, as is their policy with crime victims. Williams, 29, declined to comment on the incident. But two people familiar with the case confirmed Williams’s home was hit and property stolen. No one was hurt.

The incident happened shortly about 9:50 p.m. on Sept. 24, while the Redskins were playing at FedEx Field. Kraig Troxell, the Loudoun sheriff’s spokesman, said three family members were home when one of them heard a noise and saw a person running into a bedroom and then out of the house.

Troxell said “several pieces of high-end jewelry” were stolen, but declined to be more specific. The residents were unable to provide a description of the suspect, Troxell said. No arrests have been made, but deputies are continuing to investigate.

Williams is in his eighth season with the Redskins. In 2011, The Washington Post reported that he had a diamond-encrusted necklace with a large jeweled head of a silverback gorilla made for himself. The necklace had a reported value of $100,000 to $150,000. Williams told The Post in 2010 he goes by the nickname “Silverback,” and has had that tattooed on his back, because he plays like a beast.
