Minnesota Vikings defensive end Kenechi Udeze has been diagnosed with leukemia, the local television station KSTP reported Monday night.According to the report, Udeze is still undergoing tests and may not know for several weeks how severe the cancer is. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow.
The Vikings drafted Udeze out of USC with their first-round pick, 20th overall, in the 2004 NFL draft. He entered the starting lineup immediately as a rookie, starting 15 games that season. He suffered a serious knee injury in 2005 and missed 13 games, but has bounced back to play in all 32 games the last two years and start 30. Last year he had five sacks.
