ESPN football analyst and Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss will take "extended time" off the job to deal with "a personal health challenge," the network said Friday.
Moss first told viewers on Sunday, from the set of "Sunday NFL Countdown," that he's facing an undisclosed medial issue and urged men to pay particular attention to health screenings.
"Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss will step away from" his Sunday morning pregame show in order "to focus on a personal health challenge," according to an ESPN statement.
In a pair of Instagram posts on Sunday, Moss said he was tackling a health issue.
"But like I said, I need your prayers.”Moss was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
