An NFL legend is resigning from ESPN.

Former wide receiver Randy Moss, now an analyst at the station, is leaving the station for an extended period of time to focus on what he calls a “personal health challenge.”

Moss is a regular on “Sunday NFL Countdown” and briefly addressed the situation during the Dec. 1 broadcast, but ESPN released a statement Friday confirming his absence.

“For nearly a decade, Randy has been an invaluable member of the team and has continued to advance Countdown with his insight and passion. He has ESPN’s full support and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready,” the statement said.

Moss, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, ranks second in career touchdown receptions (156) and fourth in career receiving yards (15,292).

He made six Pro Bowls over the course of his career, mostly with the Minnesota Vikings, but also had a monster year (23 touchdowns) in 2007 with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Several of Moss’ ESPN colleagues shared the news via X. Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell previously shared a message of support for himself and the organization.

“We love Randy and know our fan base feels the same way. He is truly revered by all Vikings fans and really all NFL fans with the Hall of Famer that he is,” O’Connell said.

“I just want to let him know that we are here for him, here at Eagan, and we have always had his back, wish him well and support him.”

The specific issue Moss and his family are dealing with has not been disclosed.
