Josh Sills, an offensive linesman for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been indicted on rape and kidnapping charges, just 10 days out from the Super Bowl.

It's alleged that Sills, who is six foot six inch and 325 pounds, 'engaged in sexual activity that was not consensual and held a victim against her will.'

Ohio prosecutors said on Wednesday that Sills 'forcibly restrained and raped a woman' in December 2019, prompting the Guernsey County's Sheriff Office to launch a probe into the incident.

Following the investigation a grand jury indicted 25-year-old Sills on one felony count of rape and one felony count of kidnapping, he's expected in court Feb 16.

Sills was undrafted in 2022 but was picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles in April and went on to make their final roster, playing against the Cardinals in week five.

The Attorney General released a statement which said: 'In December 2019, the indictment says, Sills engaged in sexual activity that was not consensual and held a victim against her will.

'The crime was immediately reported, and the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office conducted a detailed investigation.

'The case was presented to the grand jury and is being prosecuted by the Special Prosecutions Section of the Attorney General's Office.'

Sills was issued a summons to appear in Guernsey County Common Pleas Court at 1pm on Feb 16.

Count one the jury found that Sills 'did engage in sexual conduct' with the victim only referred to as M.M. they said that he 'purposely compelled her to submit to force or threat of force.'

Count two the jury found the 25-year-old 'did, by force, threat, or deception, remove M.M from the place where she was found or restrain the liberty of her for the purpose of facilitating the commission of a felony.'

In a statement to DailyMail.com the Eagles acknowledged that the 'organization is aware of the legal matter involving Josh Sills.'

This is just disturbing. Seen a report about Joe Mixon being linked to some kind of breach of law. It amazing what fame and fortune does to their mindset.
