Randy Moss has revealed he is wearing sunglasses on Sunday NFL Countdown because he is ‘battling something internally’.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver, now an analyst, made the announcement at the start of Sunday’s show.
Last week, fans were concerned for Moss as viewers said that his eyes looked yellow while he was working on the show.
‘I just want to share something with you all,’ Moss said at the start of the show, before putting his sunglasses on.
‘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.’
