Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano says he empathizes with Devon Still's daughter.

Leah Still, the daughter of the Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle, underwent surgery to remove a tumor Thursday.

Pagano is uniquely qualified to speak about the tribulations of cancer. He was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago and relates to Still's struggle.

“I can’t imagine. It’s one thing, you see adults. Cancer touches everybody, but when it hits a child, especially if it was your own child," he said.

"Thank God there’s so many good people out there to support (Still) and his family to help them get through their cancer journey."

The Colts play the Tennessee Titans in Week 4, while the Bengals are on a bye week.
