Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss says he’s being treated for cancer in his bile duct

Dec 13, 2024 | 5:09 PM

Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss said Friday he is being treated for cancer in his bile duct between his pancreas and liver.

In an appearance on Instagram Live, Moss, aided by a cane, introduced himself as a cancer survivor and thanked his “prayer warriors” for their support. He had a procedure to put a stent in his liver on Thanksgiving after experiencing urine discoloration.

Moss said he was hospitalized for six days before being released on Friday. He said he’s being treated with radiation and chemotherapy.

Moss stepped away from his role as an analyst on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” on Dec. 6.

“As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set. … Hopefully I can be with you guys soon,” Moss said.
