On Thursday afternoon, the daughter of Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her body. And all indications are that the surgery went well. It'll obviously be awhile before Still knows whether or not his daughter is 100 percent in the clear. But for now, he seems to have high hopes with regards to his daughter's health.
Still also continues to receive a ton of support from both the Bengals and other NFL teams. He's already received support from the Saints and their head coach Sean Payton, who purchased 100 of his jerseys a couple weeks ago and helped Cincinnati raise money for pediatric cancer research. And earlier today, he took to Instagram to let the world know that his daughter also just received flowers, a large teddy bear, a balloon, and toys from the Eagles and their head coach Chip Kelly.
"Thanks to Chip Kelly and the Eagles for sending these surprise gifts and flowers to my daughter," he wrote as the caption for the photo.
It's an incredibly kind gesture on the part of the Eagles and it's great to hear about another team doing what they can to help Still. With all of the negativity surrounding the NFL right now, it's nice to see something positive for a change.
