ESPN says it expects Hall of Famer Randy Moss to return to “Sunday NFL Countdown” in a full-time capacity for the 2025 season, the network told Andrew Marchand of The Athletic.
Moss stepped back from his role in December after revealing he had undergone surgery to remove cancerous cells in his bile duct. At the time, he said he still had to go through chemotherapy and radiation, but added he wanted to return to the desk as soon as possible. The 48-year-old also had a stent inserted into his liver due to complications from his condition.

Moss, who is in his 10th year with ESPN, returned to “NFL Countdown” in February for the network’s Super Bowl pregame show.
“Randy’s return on Super Bowl Sunday was an emotional lift — not just for our team but for the entire football community — and knowing he will resume his full Sunday NFL Countdown schedule, beginning in Week 1, has been the highlight of the offseason,” read a statement from ESPN to The Athletic.
Moss had previously drawn attention to his health problems when he wore sunglasses during an episode of “NFL Countdown.”
Moss made a remote appearance during the 2025 NFL Honors ceremony, announcing Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow as the Comeback Player of the Year.
