The NFL placed Sills, 25, on the commissioner’s exempt list in February shortly before the Super Bowl. Sills only appeared in one game for the Eagles during the 2022 season and was inactive for their NFC title win over the 49ers.

According to the indictment, Sills engaged in sexual activity in Dec. of 2019 that was not consensual and held a victim against her will. The indictment also states that the alleged crime was immediately reported and the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office conducted a detailed investigation.

Joshua Sills has now been found not guilty on all charges. He signed with the Eagles before the 2022 season.
