Bengals selling Devon Still jerseys for cancer care and research

Devon Still isn’t on the Cincinnati Bengals’ roster anymore, but the team is still selling his jersey.

For a hundred bucks!

But also for a great cause.

All proceeds from the sales of Still’s No. 75 jersey will go toward Cincinnati’s Children’s Hospital and pediatric cancer care and research, according to the team’s pro shop website.

The defensive tackle’s 4-year-old daughter, Leah, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in June. The Bengals’ second-round draft pick in 2012 considered taking the season off to dedicate his time to his daughter, but decided to play and keep his NFL health benefits, which should cover all of the medical expenses (estimated at $1 million) for Leah.

Still, who was also dealing with an injured hamstring, ended up being cut from the team late last month. But the Bengals made the classy move of signing Still to their practice squad a day later, allowing him to remain near his daughter (who is currently being treated in Philadelphia) while earning a salary and, more important, keeping his NFL health benefits.

And now they’re helping even more by selling the practice squad player’s jersey without making a dime in return.

“With [the Bengals] sticking by me through this whole time and understanding exactly what I’m going through, it’s a blessing that I was around this organization,” Still said last week.

Still has also started a website fundraiser that accepts one-time donations or pledges per each Bengals sack this season. He tweeted that more than $11,000 has been raised already, with proceeds going to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
