COSTA MESA, Calif. -- New Orleans Saints linebacker Manti Te'o said his father is safe in California, but he's worried about the rest of his family in Hawaii.
With Hurricane Lane heading toward Hawaii this week, Te'o said his mother, four sisters and brother are bracing for the storm.
"Definitely a lot of prayers going out to my family and all the families there in Hawaii to be safe, be extra cautious and hopefully everything turns out OK," Te'o said Wednesday after the Saints held joint practices with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Saints center Max Unger, defensive lineman Mitchell Loewen and linebacker Hau'oli Kikaha are also from Hawaii, though they did not speak to the media on Wednesday.
