The announcement came from ESPN on Friday morning, marking a significant moment for fans and colleagues who hold Moss in high regard.
In a heartfelt message to his fans, Moss first opened up about his health condition on December 1, albeit with limited details, stating that he is “battling something internal.”
He revealed that the situation necessitated him wearing sunglasses on set, prompting his call for support and prayers from his followers:
“All the prayer warriors, put your blessed hands on me and my family through these hard times.”
ESPN has expressed its unwavering support for Moss during this difficult chapter, stating in a release that they will provide him with all the time he needs to recover.

Born in 1977 in Rand, West Virginia, Moss showcased exceptional athleticism throughout his youth, earning accolades in multiple sports. He was recognized as the top high school football player in the state with the Kennedy Award. While he initially committed to play at Notre Dame, his path took unexpected turns due to legal issues, leading him to transfer from Florida State to Marshall University.
At Marshall, Moss flourished, breaking records in his freshman year and helping lead the team to an NCAA Division I-AA Championship. His prowess on the field continued, culminating in a nomination for the prestigious Heisman Trophy and solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest college football players of all time.
