Josh Sills has now been formally charged with the crimes by the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office. Just four days after the Philadelphia Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, the offensive lineman is scheduled to appear in court in Guernsey County, Ohio, on February 16, 2023.
On October 9, 2022, against the Arizona Cardinals, the Ohio native participated in just one game for the Philadelphia Eagles this season. That game was won 20-17 by the Eagles. During that game, Sills primarily played on the special teams.

For how long OL Josh Sills has been a member of the Philadelphia Eagles?
The offensive lineman, 25, spent his first four years of college football at West Virginia University from 2016 to 2019. To complete his eligibility, he later transferred to Oklahoma State.
Josh Sills was born on January 26, 1998 in Sarahsville, Ohio, US to his Parents John Sills (Father) and Kim Sills (Mother) who travelled to all his games.
He participated in just two games with West Virginia University the previous season before transferring in 2019. He started each of the 11 games he played in as a senior at Oklahoma State, earning votes for Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year.
The offensive lineman then decided to enter the NFL Draft, but the outcomes weren’t what he had anticipated.
In the 2022 NFL Draft, he was not selected. But he was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. He pushed for a spot on the final roster throughout training camp and was one of three undrafted players who made the roster cut.
Despite spending the entire season on the active roster, he has only made one game appearance. So, the offensive line’s starting lineup won’t be significantly changed if the Eagles opt against letting him go to Super Bowl LVII.
Sills signed a 3 year, $2,570,000 contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, including a $10,000 signing bonus, $135,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $856,667. His current net worth stands at $1 million.
