Last week news came out that the Cincinnati Bengals had re-signed DT Devon Still to their practice squad so he could pay for his daughter Leah's cancer treatments. That move netted him employee health insurance and $6,300 a week. It also made Still's jersey a hot ticket item, and the Bengals franchise said they'd donate the sales to pediatric cancer research.

Now news has come out that the Bengals have activated Still from their practice squad (according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus). In a week of Ray Rice and Jerry Jones (actually that's just the first two days of the week) the Bengals are doing their best to give the NFL's PR team a (small) break before somebody inevitably fucks up tomorrow.
