Two weeks before the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, offensive tackle Josh Sills of the team was charged with rape and kidnapping in Ohio. The Guernsey County Common Pleas Court grand jury indicted Sills, who is playing in his first NFL season, on one count of rape as well as one count of kidnapping, according to a statement released on Wednesday by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
The two first-degree felonies allegedly occurred in December 2019, while the 6-foot-6 guard was still a student and a member of the West Virginia Mountaineers. The indictment claims that Sills held the woman against her will and engaged in nonconsensual sexual conduct with her. His status for Super Bowl LVII is currently uncertain, and the Philadelphia Eagles have not yet issued a comment.
