When Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still returns to the field this season, he will do so with a heavy heart.

Here is the statement in full:

Still was taken by the Bengals in the second round of the 2012 NFL draft after a standout college career at Penn State. He has appeared in 18 games as a reserve player for Cincinnati over the last two seasons.
