One of the top NFL wide receivers has shared insights about returning to his TV role after fighting an uncommon cancer.

Randy Moss, known for his time with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots, is resuming his position at ESPN following a break due to his struggle with cholangiocarcinoma, a bile duct cancer.

Having gone through multiple surgeries and treatments, Moss is making his way back to ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’ and looks forward to reuniting with his colleagues.

‘Man, I look forward to it. I missed my crew. Greenie [Mike Greenberg], Alex [Smith], Teddy [Bruschi],’ Moss told Michael Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show.

But Moss kept things joking and playful when addressing his other desk-mate: ‘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,’ the Hall of Famer joked.

Moss added, ‘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 just can’t wait for week one to get back with the crew and talk football!’

Moss’ absence as he fought cancer was a trying experience for him – even as he received an outpouring support from his co-workers and the NFL community at large.

‘It was an emotional roller coaster, but being able to see the support from the ESPN Sunday Countdown crew, the football fans, and just people in general, man, just showing their love and respect,’ Moss told us.

‘I thank everybody for their love and their prayers. I really felt everything. I felt all of it.’

Moss added that he even hear from celebrities – like 90s music icon Montell Jordan.

Reflecting on his ordeal as a whole, Moss said, ‘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.’

His forthcoming return to the airwaves will be the first time he’s back full-time at the network since last fall, and the first time he’ll be on-air since Super Bowl LIX. 

By November, a number of fans had grown concerned about Moss before his announcement

Back in November, a number of fans had grown concerned about Moss’ health when his eyes appeared yellow on ESPN. 

That led to Moss making the shock announcement about his health a month ago, appearing on an Instagram Live video alongside his sons to tell fans he had undergone a six-hour surgery and could not walk without a cane.

Speaking about his cancer battle in December, Moss said: ‘I’ve told y’all over the last couple of weeks about me battling something internally, and ya boy is a cancer survivor.’

He then revealed: ‘I did have cancer, they found it in the bile duct, right between the pancreas and the liver, and the cancer was sitting right outside the bile duct.

‘So my doctors went in, I had six hours’ surgery, and for a lot of you guys wondering, you can Google it. I had a Whipple procedure. The best doctor in the United States, Dr [John] Martinie, I am forever grateful.’
