“He has ESPN’s full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.”

The Hall of Fame wide receiver had previously asked fans to pray for him and his family in an Instagram post Sunday. He also directed men to get checkups and bloodwork done without specifying any particular illness.

Randy Moss revealed this past Sunday that “me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally.”

The Hall of Fame wide receiver-turned-analyst stated he would be doing shows wearing blue-tinted glasses but made sure to let fans know that he would be okay.

Mike Greenberg, Rex Ryan, Alex Smith, and Tedy Bruschi would then stick by his side, putting on glasses with Moss in solidarity.

It was earlier this week when New Jersey-based optometrist Dr. James Dello Russo stated Moss might be suffering from jaundice, which is yellowing of the whites of the eyes.

We Are All Praying For Randy Moss

Randy Moss played 14 seasons for the Vikings, Raiders, Patriots, Titans, and 49ers.

He thrilled at every stop as he still ranks second to Jerry Rice with 156 touchdown catches and had 982 career catches for 15,292 yards.

With him going through his health battle, he has the prayers of millions across the nation.
