Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss is being treated for cancer

MINNESOTA (AP) – Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss said Friday he is being treated for cancer found outside his bowel duct between his pancreas and liver.

In an appearance on Instagram Live, Moss, aided by a cane, introduced himself as a cancer survivor and thanked his “prayer warriors” for their support. He had a procedure to put a stent in his liver on Thanksgiving after experiencing urine discoloration.

Moss said he was hospitalized for six days before being released on Friday. He said he’s being treated with radiation and chemotherapy.

After thanking a number of people, including his doctors, various staff members at the hospital, family and friends, as well as everybody who prayed for him along the way, Moss also urged everybody to get screened on a regular basis.

“I didn’t think I would ever be in a position like this, as healthy as I thought I was,” Moss said.

Moss stepped away from his role as an analyst on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” on Dec. 6.

Though he’s currently on an extended leave of absence from his role on ESPN, Moss made it clear that wants to return to his position as soon as he can. He shouted out a number of his co-hosts on ESPN before adding, “My goal is to get back on television with my team.”
