Randy Moss reveals he’s battling health issue on ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’

This past week, fans around the nation voiced their concern for Sunday NFL Countdown co-host Randy Moss when they noticed his eyes looking particularly yellow. On Sunday, the Hall-of-Fame wide receiver provided an update on his health.

“Well good morning, man. I just wanted to share something with you all, man,” Moss said. “I put a post up maybe a few minutes ago on Instagram just telling people, just, you were talking about my eyes last week, and I just want to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally.

“I have some great doctors around me. I couldn’t miss the show, I wanted to be here with you guys. I feel great, but if you all see me with these Michigan turnover glasses that I have on, it’s not being disrespectful because I’m on television, man. I’m battling something, I need all the prayer warriors. God bless you all and thanks for the prayers.”

In Moss’ post on Instagram, he implored his followers to receive regular checkups. He also requested prayers. While viewers around the world showed Moss support on social media, Moss’ co-hosts in the studio made a kind gesture to boost his spirits.

“It’s beautifully said. All for one and one for all. If he’s wearing glasses, we’re all wearing glasses today,” co-host Mike Greenberg said as the rest of the crew put glasses on in solidarity.

After retiring from the NFL in 2012, Moss joined ESPN as an analyst in 2016. Since then, he has appeared on Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown.

He also still holds the NFL single-season touchdown reception record (23 in 2007), as well as the NFL single-season touchdown reception record for a rookie (17 in 1998).

Now, Randy Moss will look to find success again as he takes on his undisclosed health issue. He can rest assured that fans around the nation will be rooting for him.
