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.

Sills appeared in only four snaps on special teams for the Eagles in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. He’s listed as a backup right guard to Isaac Seumalo on Philadelphia’s depth chart.

Yes, no doubt. The fact the Eagles have a convicted rapist on their roster is undeniable proof the Super Bowl is rigged.

Exactly why today? Why not 2 weeks ago or 2 weeks from now? It’s always right before to force a hand. In this case, what does Philly do???? Or the nfl for that matter? Suspend him? Let him play? No win situation and remember believe all women!

This isn't CSI Ohio. It takes longer than a 45 minute TV show to solve a case in real life.

So according to some posters he's innocent because it took so long to indict...?

Well the “facts” of the case do seem suspiciously vague to me.

I’ll wait till I hear more before casting judgement.

Also he hasn’t been found guilty so he IS innocent currently, fyi.

Usually on this they are. No rape/kidnapping investigation takes 3 years.
