Doctors found cancer in his bile duct “between the right pancreas and the liver,” Moss said.
“I never thought I’d ever be in this position, as healthy as I thought I was.”
Moss stepped down from his role as an analyst on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” earlier this month.
“As soon as I’m healthy enough to get back with the guys, I’ll be on set. … Hopefully I’ll be with you guys soon,” Moss said.
“My goal is to get back on television with my team.”
Moss, 47, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018 after playing 14 seasons with the Vikings (1998-2004, 2010), Oakland Raiders (2005-06). New England Patriots (2007-10), Tennessee Titans (2010) and San Francisco 49ers (2012).
