Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still is a busy man these days, practicing and playing football in Cincinnati, then flying over to Philadelphia, where his daughter Leah is a cancer patient at Childrens Hospital.Of course, Still would be the first to tell that what hes going through is nothing compared to his daughters ordeal.
Leah was scheduled to undergo stem-cell treatment Tuesday, in order to alleviate some of the internal damage caused by chemotherapy and radiation. There was no way Still was going to miss out on being by thefour-year-olds side.

According to cincinnati.com, the jerseys were then signed and will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House.
