On Friday it was announced that Hall of Famer Randy Moss is stepping away from Sunday NFL Countdown in order to address a personal health challenge. Moss has been a constant presence of the show for close to a decade.
Adam Schefter helped to break the news by reposting a statement made by ESPN. He writes,
“ESPN analyst Randy Moss is stepping away from Sunday NFL Countdown for now to address a personal health challenge. This is ESPN’s statement:
‘Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss will step away from Sunday NFL Countdown for an extended time to focus on a personal health challenge. He briefly addressed the matter at the start of the show on Dec. 1.

He has ESPN’s full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.’”
What kind of condition is Moss facing? Well, nothing exactly has been confirmed from Randy’s camp. However, recently there were a few developments. Especially, in regards to Moss’ eyes.

CNN reported on this particular eye issue and how it may pertain to Randy’s health and what Moss said about it via social media platform, Instagram. CNN reveals,
“The decision comes after concern grew recently, when viewers noticed Moss’ eyes appeared yellow. He had then started to wear sunglasses during television appearances. On Sunday, Moss had posted two videos on Instagram to explain why he wore tinted sunglasses during television appearances in recent weeks.
“I just wanted to share something with you all,” the 47-year-old said.
“I put a post up maybe a few minutes ago on Instagram just telling people – you were talking about my eyes last week – and I just want to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally.
I have some great doctors around me. I couldn’t miss the show, I wanted to be here with you guys.”
Moss has not revealed any details about what he is battling and has not commented publicly since ESPN released its statement on Friday.
While the problem is unknown, it is clear that it is serious enough for Randy Moss to devote his full attention to it. We wish Mr. Moss a speedy recovery. And hope he can return back to Sunday NFL Countdown soon and feeling better than ever.
