Devon Still shares photos with his daughter Leah

The Bengals cut defensive tackle Devon Still, a two-year veteran, two weeks ago. But the team kept Still on the practice squad to help him keep health insurance, which is significant because his 4-year-old daughter, Leah, is stricken with cancer.

Leah, suffers from Stage 4 cancer. According to ESPN, she's been given a 50-50 chance of survival.

Still had played 18 games over the past two seasons for Cincinnati, but coaches could tell his effort was off this preseason because his mind was elsewhere. Adding him to the practice squad allowed him access to the NFL's health insurance, even though Leah's medical costs could reach $1 million.
