Randy Moss, ESPN NFL countdown on Sunday Host and NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver revealed he is battling cancer.

The sports analyst had stepped away from his hosting duties to deal with health issues and is now opening up about his battle.

Supported by a cane, Moss shared on Instagram that he had survived cancer and thanked his “prayer warriors” for their support during his battle. Moss said he underwent a Whipple procedure, also called a pancreaticoduodenectomy, in which a stent was inserted into his liver after he noticed a discoloration in his urine.

The former NFL star was hospitalized last week and was released on Friday. He will continue to undergo chemotherapy and radiation.

“I survived cancer,” Moss said. “Some difficult times, but we made it through.”

Moss said the dancer was in the bile duct “right between the pancreas and the liver,” adding, “I didn’t think I would ever be in this position, as healthy as I thought.”

ESPN shared a statement on Dec. 6 announcing that Moss would be stepping down from his duties to address a “personal health challenge.”

“Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss will be stepping away from Sunday NFL Countdown for an extended period of time to focus on a personal health challenge,” ESPN said in a statement. “He touched on the topic briefly at the start of the show on December 1st. For nearly a decade, Randy has been an invaluable member of the team, bringing Countdown forward with his insight and passion. He has ESPN’s full support and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.”

In his update Friday, Moss expressed confidence in his ability to return to his duties at ESPN.

“As soon as I’m healthy and able to be out there with you again, I promise you that I will be on set,” he said. “I miss you and hope I can be with you soon.”

Moss played 14 seasons in the NFL for teams such as the Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans and the San Francisco 49ers. The former wide receiver retired in 2012 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018.
