Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss announced he is undergoing treatment for cancer, the 47-year-old announced Friday.

Moss said on Instagram Live that he was released from the hospital on Friday after undergoing six days of treatment for cancer found in his bile duct between his pancreas and liver.

Moss called himself a “cancer survivor” and thanked the “prayer warriors” for their support.

Moss had to have a stent inserted into his liver on Thanksgiving after noticing discoloration in his urine. He will undergo chemotherapy and radiation.

Earlier this month, Moss took time off from his expert work at ESPN to “focus on a personal health challenge.”

The six-time Pro Bowler made it his mission to return to his ESPN gig.

“As soon as I’m healthy and able to go out with guys again, I’ll be on set. … Hopefully I can be with you soon,” Moss said.

“My goal is to be on television again with my team.”

The NFL legend played 14 seasons in the league, most notably with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots.

Considered one of the greatest wide receivers in the history of the game, he was named first-team All-Pro four times and led the NFL in touchdowns with five. Over the course of his outstanding career, Moss had 15,292 yards and 156 touchdowns.

While wearing a Team Moss sweatshirt with the words “Let’s Moss Cancer” on the front, Moss said he sells clothing with most of the proceeds benefiting cancer research.
