Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss announced Friday he is recovering from surgery to treat cancer.
‘I’ve told you all over the last couple of weeks about me battling something internally and your boy is a cancer survivor,’ Moss said in an Instagram livestream.
Moss said he has been battling a cancer found outside of his bile duct between his pancreas and liver. He was in the hospital for six days for surgery, treatment, and recovery and was released Friday.
Moss has been a regular on the ESPN show ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’ this NFL season. The network announced on Dec. 6 he’d be stepping away from the show for an extended time.
‘As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set,’ Moss said on the livestream Friday after thanking his ESPN coworkers. ‘Hopefully I can be with you guys soon.’

He thanked multiple doctors from the Charlotte-area medical center where he was treated as well as the staff on site during his recovery.
‘Thank you guys for helping nurse me back to recovery that I’m able to get home to my family,’ Moss said.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver is selling the sweatshirt he wore during the livestream on his personal website. He stated that all proceeds from those sales will go to cancer research.
‘I am a cancer survivor but we made it through and for that I thank you all,’ Moss said.
