The charges against Sills are first-degree felonies

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Josh Sills was indicted on one count of rape and one count of kidnapping in Ohio on Wednesday, the state’s attorney general announced.

Sills, 25, was indicted on one count of rape and one count of kidnapping, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Guernsey County Sheriff Jeffrey D. Paden said in a news release. Both charges are first-degree felonies.

The indictment stems from an incident in December 2019. Sills allegedly "engaged in sexual activity that was not consensual and held a victim against her will," officials said. The Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation after the alleged crime was immediately reported.

The indictment comes days before the Eagles are set to play in Super Bowl LVII. Sills was a rookie in 2022, and he played in one regular season game.

"The organization is aware of the legal matter involving Josh Sills. We have been in communication with the league office and are in the process of gathering more information. We have no further comment at this time," the Eagles said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Sills was issued a summons to appear in Guernsey County Common Pleas Court on Feb. 16 — four days after the Eagles are set to play in the Super Bowl.

Sills, who plays tackle and guard, joined Philadelphia as an undrafted free agent. He spent his collegiate career with Oklahoma State. He was born in Sarahsville, Ohio.

That's when the incident happened, but the indictment just happened.  I have no doubt that the timing was on purpose.  That said, the dude doesn't play.  It's not really an issue in the scope of the game or team.

Yeah. Crazy it takes so long in the courts to get updates 4 years later in courts. 

But maybe it's more important to have discussions when no one knows anything other than someone is a suspect rather than when action is taken in the courts.

He's on their payroll and is backup right guard while their starting left guard may not play in the SB.

As long as it isn't Frey, Henley or Walsh, I doubt anyone cares.

I have no doubt there are many people who don't care that someone was kidnapped and raped. Yourself and guttervomit included.

Had to look him up because I didn’t even know his name. 25 y/o rookie who played 4 special teams snaps all year. See ya and good riddance.
