Cincinnati Bengals cut defensive lineman Devon Still

Cincinnati Bengals cut defensive lineman Devon Still, The Cincinnati Bengals did the right thing last season when they kept defensive lineman Devon Still on the practice squad as his daughter Leah battled cancer. Still was activated to the 53-man roster shortly after that. Leah's cancer eventually went into remission.The Bengals have a lot of depth on the defensive line this season, however, and had to make a tough decision. They cut Devon Still on Saturday as they got down to their 53-man roster.

The Bengals' classy move last year will help the Still family no matter what happens next with Devon's NFL career. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner, Devon and Leah have five years of NFL health insurance regardless of Devon's NFL status, because Still played in 12 games last year.

Leah is still undergoing cancer treatments; her latest round came last month.Still could end up latching on with another NFL team, but the Stills' story has been one of the most heartwarming in the NFL in many years, with Leah providing many touching moments through the past year. Best of luck to them both.
