Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss has announced that he is undergoing treatment for cancer discovered outside his bile duct, situated between his pancreas and liver.
During an emotional Instagram Live session, Moss, who relied on a cane for support, identified himself as a cancer survivor and expressed gratitude to his “prayer warriors” who have rallied behind him. Following a Thanksgiving procedure to insert a stent in his liver due to urine discoloration, he has been on a challenging road to recovery.
After spending six days in the hospital, Moss was released on Friday and is currently receiving radiation and chemotherapy treatments as part of his health plan.
On December 6, Moss stepped back from his role as an analyst on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown,” prioritizing his health during this critical time.
He shared his determination to return to the set, stating, “As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set. … Hopefully I can be with you guys soon.” His ambition remains clear: “My goal is to get back on television with my team.”
At 47 years old, Moss was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018 after an impressive 14-season career in the NFL, which included stints with the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers.
Moss ranks second in NFL history with 156 touchdown receptions and set an NFL record with 23 touchdown catches in a single season in 2007 while playing for the Patriots.
