Randy Moss Returns to ESPN After Cancer Treatment

Hall of Famer Randy Moss returned to ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown for the Super Bowl after undergoing cancer treatment for two months, delivering his analysis with gratitude and resilience. Moss's comeback took place during the Super Bowl broadcast Sunday, after a leave of absence that began in early December. A video featuring well-wishes from notable sports figures like Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Justin Jefferson, and Kevin Garnett moved him to tears.

"Guys, it's been hard, but I got a lot of love and a lot of people believing in me. I'm happy to be here," Moss said. The former NFL star, who turns 48 this Thursday, confronted a cancerous mass in his bile duct, leading to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. On Thanksgiving, he had a stent inserted in his liver, followed by a six-hour surgery to remove the cancer.

Moss has been a key presence on ESPN since 2016 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. His NFL career is notable, ranking second with 156 touchdown catches and fourth with 15,292 receiving yards. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
