Though he doesn't state specifically what is wrong, Moss hinted that it might be serious enough to cloud his vision.

"Me and my wife and my family, we are battling something internally," Moss, 47, said during the Sunday, December 1, broadcast of ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown. "You know, I have some great doctors around me. I couldn't miss the show, I wanted to be here with you guys."

In spite of his current struggles, Moss assured fans that he is under excellent medical care and remains optimistic about recovery. He just needs "prayer warriors" this time.
