“I just can’t wait for Week 1”: NFL Analyst Randy Moss is cancer-free and ready to talk football with his crew

Randy Moss, a former Tennessee Titans wide receiver and current NFL Analyst for ESPN, was diagnosed with bile duct cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma. It was located between his pancreas and liver.

He experienced symptoms such as discolored urine, which led to the discovery of the cancer. A six-hour surgery was performed in December 2024. He also underwent additional treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Recently, Randy Moss spoke to Michael Babcock of TMZ Sports about his cancer journey and expressed utmost gratitude towards his family, doctors, and ESPN crew. Moss also talked about his full-time return to ESPN’s NFL TV coverage.

“It was an emotional roller coaster,” Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss said about his cancer recovery journey

Randy Moss, a 48-year-old cancer survivor, does not wish his experience on anyone. “Just being able to experience that was nothing I wish on any man or any human being, but for the fact that God took me through it and brought me out of it back healthy, being able to be back with my family, great support system, and some great doctors around me. It was an emotional roller coaster, but the people I met along the way, I’m a blessed man, I’ll leave it at that.

Playfully taking a dig at his co-host, Moss shared with Babcock, “I really didn’t miss Rex Ryan much because he got on my nerves. So, Rex, if you’re hearing this, I am coming back, so scoot over. But really, Michael, in all honesty, we have a great group of guys that I work with that I tremendously missed for two months, and ESPN accepted me back with open arms.

Man, I look forward to it. I missed my crew. Greenie(Mike Greenberg), Alex(Smith), Tedy(Bruschi).”

As a parting note in his conversation with TMZ Sports’ Michael Babcock, Moss thanked everyone from his ESPN family to the family outside of his home, the fans. “Man, I just can’t wait for Week 1 to get back with the crew and talk football!

I thank everybody for their love and their prayers. I really felt everything. I felt all of it.”Also Read: “Have more bye weeks,” Patrick Mahomes sounds just like 49ers TE George Kittle and Bengals QB Joe Burrow | NFL News - Times of India
