Randy Moss health update: Legend set to return to ESPN's NFL Countdown ahead of Super Bowl LIX

Beloved former NFL receiver Randy Moss is set to return to broadcasting ahead of Super Bowl LIX on Sunday. According to Adam Schefter, Moss will appear on NFL Countdown at 10 a.m. ET on Sunday before of the big game.

Moss had previously been an analyst on the show this season before being forced to step down due to cancer.

Moss is one of the all-time great receivers in NFL and college football history. During his time at Marshall, he helped the Thundering Herd to a national title and won the Biletnikoff Award as the top receiver in the country in 1997 as part of his Hall of Fame career.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Moss with the No. 21 overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, and he spent 14 years in the league. He was a four-time All-Pro and a six-time Pro Bowler, leading the NFL in touchdown receptions five times, as he ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In December, Moss announced doctors found cancer in his bile ducts between his pancreas and liver. He still has to undergo chemotherapy, but said he’s now a “survivor” after getting back from the hospital.

Moss is a staple of ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown pregame show, but prior to that announcement, wore sunglasses on air. He made it clear he wasn’t being disrespectful, but it was because he was dealing with “something internally” and he heard fans’ concern about his eyes. He was later off the air after ESPN announced he’d be tending to focus on a health concern.
