Colts center Samson Satele reportedly tweeted this earlier today:
On my way to Hawaii....RIP Papa....ILY... #THEMAN

Though this twitter account is not "official," it seems legit considering the owner has chatted with other Colts offensive linemen who do have official accounts on Twitter. These players include A.Q. Shipley and Anthony Castonzo.
Based on the tweet, it seems Satele has had some sort of loss in the family. He is from Hawaii (Kailua, Honolulu County). Condolences if this story is as it appears.
Indianapolis is currently in Day Two of their first series of OTAs. Today's practice is open to the media.
Satele was signed by the Colts in March 21st, and he seems the most likely player to replace longtime veteran Jeff Saturday. Saturday left the Colts via free agency, and has since signed with the Packers. Satele spent three seasons with the Oakland Raiders before signing with the Colts as a free agent. Prior to that, he spent two years in Miami, the team that drafted him in the second round in 2007.
