Well wishes go out to Kenechi Udeze and his family. Let's hope his condition is not that serious and easily treatable.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings are extending their "thoughts and prayers" to defensive end, and former USC standout, Kenechi Udeze after a television station reported Monday night that he has a form of leukemia.
The Vikings declined to confirm the television reports by Minneapolis stations KSTP and KMSP out of respect for Udeze's privacy, but issued a statement of support from coach Brad Childress.
The station reported Udeze is undergoing tests to determine the severity of the disease.
Udeze's agent, Ethan Lock declined to comment.
Udeze, 24, was a first-round draft pick out of USC in 2004. He has 11 sacks in 51 career games, having missed most of the 2005 season with a knee injury.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
