The NFL has been excellent at damage control for years-- let us see how this unfurls before kick-off.

1. Surprised they even kept him around

After he came under investigation in 2019. He has now been indicted so I can't imagine he will travel with the team.

I assume they can replace his roster spot with a practice team member.

2. The ultimate tweak...

They waited for the Super Bowl.

Horrible narrative of what allegedly happened to her. Can you imagine? He’s 325 lbs and 6’6”

3. The front office should have released him a while ago

4. His parents made news cuz they traveled to everyone of his games

Now they will go to his court dates

5. From euphoria to dysphoria

Josh Sills is, of course, innocent until proven guilty. Nevertheless, his career is at peril, and potentially his liberty. And this will affect his team at the SB.

He's 325 lbs and 6’6”? Damon Runyan would have called that a gorill'. You are right, the assault must have been horrific.

And the timing does seem weaponized.

I wonder what's going on in the heads of his parents and his teammates?

6. Even Eagle fans don't know who he is.

Jeff Lurie will do the right thing.

7. Jeff Lurie, as an NFL owner, seems to be doing the right things:

Another Superbowl appearance with a different QB and Coach in five years? Not bad.

But keeping this gorill' on the roster so long with the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head?

I am scratching my head....
