“I just want to share something with y’all man. I put a post up on Instagram maybe a few minutes ago just telling people, we were talking about my eyes last week. I just want to let the viewers know that me and my wife. Me and my family, we are battling something internally. I have some great doctors around me. I couldn’t miss the show. I wanted to be here with you guys. I feel great, but if y’all see me with these Michigan turnover glasses that I have on, it’s not being disrespectful because I’m on television. I’m battling something. I need all of the prayer warriors. God bless y’all and thanks for the prayers.”

Last week Moss clearly wanted to be on the show, but it seems things have taken a turn. For now the focus must be on his health and ability to regain strength. As he noted, he is confident in the doctors around him, and the hope would be that he can make a full recovery.

The Freak is a Hall of Famer with more than 15,000 yards to his credit. He has 156 career touchdowns. The stats somehow pale in comparison to the person he has since become.
