You've got to cut out that rotted wood. It's a little tough from here to tell you exactly how to do it. Don't know if there's a floor above you, if that's a gable end etc?. You can cut out the bad part, splice in a new piece and sister full studs to repair. You can use a construction adhesive to glue the sheathing to the new studs.
