It was just last week Randy Moss said on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown that he and his family “were battling something” internally, and that he was wearing his glasses on air — his colleagues did the same.
On Friday, ESPN announced that the Hall of Fame wideout was taking a a hiatus from the show due to health concerns. There were no specifics about what he was dealing with, but a statement from the network said he’s taking “an extended time to focus on a personal health challenge. … He has ESPN’s full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.”
That announcement led to prayers up from fans:

Prayers up for Randy Moss 🙏🏾
Not just a legendary player. He helped me get my first gig on Monday Night Countdown by including me in a “You Got Mossed” segment when I wasn’t a part of the show. His kindness and open arms helped a brother out and is rare in any industry. Love him— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) December 6, 2024
