Former New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss revealed on Sunday that he is battling a medical issue and asked for prayers from fans. Moss made the announcement in a series of Instagram posts and during ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” broadcast. He did not disclose the specific health concern but emphasized the importance of getting regular medical checkups. The Pro Football Hall of Famer expressed gratitude for the support of his doctors and family during this challenging time.
Speculation about Moss’s health arose after viewers noticed a yellowish tint in his eyes during previous TV appearances. Moss addressed this by explaining that he was facing an internal battle, prompting him to wear glasses throughout the broadcast. As a key player for the Patriots from 2007 to 2010, Moss achieved significant success, leading the NFL in receiving touchdowns for five seasons and breaking the record for most receiving touchdowns in a single season during his debut year with the team in 2007.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his health, Moss remains optimistic about his recovery and urged men to prioritize their health by staying updated on their medical status. The emotional moment during Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony in June, where Moss received a prolonged ovation, showcased the deep connection he has with the team and its fans. Boston.com staff writer Conor Ryan covered Moss’s announcement, highlighting the impact of the beloved former player’s health struggle on the sports community.
