Josh Sills, a rookie guard for the Philadelphia Eagles who stood trial on charges of rape and kidnapping in Ohio, has been found not guilty.
“We are aware that the legal matter involving Josh Sills has been adjudicated and he was found not guilty,” the statement said, noting that “the NFL has removed him from the commissioner’s exempt list.”
Yost responded to the not guilty verdict on Friday, saying that he still believed Sills’s accuser. “But in America, criminal convictions require proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” his statement continued. “The jury did not see it, and I thank them for doing their duty under the law.” Sills played one game for the Eagles after being signed as an undrafted rookie in 2022. He spent the first four years of his college career at West Virginia before transferring to Oklahoma State.
Sills was on the Eagles’ game-day inactive list for their victory over the visiting San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game. He attended Meadowbrook High in Byesville, Ohio.
