Bengals' Devon Still asks for prayers for sick daughter (The Associated Press)

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still is asking for prayers for his daughter, Leah, who's had a setback in her fight against cancer.

The 5-year-old girl went into a hospital on May 5 to start the process of getting a stem cell transplant. The 4-to-6-week process involves high doses of chemotherapy at the outset.

Still posted on social media late Friday that Leah ''hit a pretty serious complication,'' with her liver affected by the chemotherapy.

''They caught it early so hopefully it gives the doctors a better chance of stopping it from getting aggressive,'' Still posted.
