Devon Still, a former number 2 draft pick, has a daughter who is battling cancer. After telling the team he can't give them his all they put him on the practice squad so he could keep health insurance for his daughter. Kudos to the Bengals for doing the right thing. Prayers for Still and his daughter

And this is why the Bengals are a terrible organization that will never win a Super Bowl. You can't waste a spot on the PS like that.

There is more to pro sports than just entertainment and things like this prove it.

The Pats* will probably sign him off the squad

[John from Riverside]

Class move

Nothing worse that a sick child...say a prayer and hug the family tonight...

The Pats* will probably sign him off the squad

And promptly cut him after "Bengals week".

Yup. Both beat me to it.

Class move by the Bengals. Best wishes to him, his daughter, and his family.... that's a rough situation to be in.

I know it's a sad subject.... But that's a funny bit of snark... Well done!

Nice move by Cincinnati. With 10 spots on the practice squad what's the downside really?

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

I've seen a lot of baseball teams do this and leave a roster spot open on the AAA team so they can still get insurance benefits.

I'll be rooting for Cincy this year after reading this story.
