“I wanted to let the viewers know that me and my wife and my family are fighting something inside. I have great doctors around me,” he said on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. “I couldn’t miss the show. I wanted to be here with you guys. I feel happy. But if you see me with these ‘Michigan turnover glasses’ on, it’s not disrespect because I’m on TV. It’s because I’m fighting something.
“I need all the prayer warriors. God bless you all. Thank you for the prayers.”

Moss will turn 48 in February. He was a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro in the NFL.
