One of the most dominant athletes to ever put on an NFL uniform is showing his vulnerability. Randy Moss has revealed he is battling a medical issue.
As per The Huffington Post the NFL icon has shared an update regarding his health. On Sunday, Dec. 1 he took to social media to make the announcement. The former Minnesota Viking wideout explained “he’s battling something internal.” While he didn’t provide specifics on his condition he did go on and ask for his fans to keep him in their thoughts. “Throughout the week of the holidays, your boy has been battling something internal,” he added. “I just ask for all the prayer warriors to put their blessing hands on me and my family through these hard times.”
He went on to remind men to be timely and thoughtful with their health milestones. “I got a great team of doctors and I got a great family around me,” he continued. “All you men, y’all do your checkups, get your blood work done, and we’ll work through it.” In a follow up post he made it clear that he will be keeping the matter close to the heart until further notice. “There’s going to be people concerned and asking questions. At this time, I’m just going to keep a lot of things private. Just bear with me. But like I said, I need your prayers.”
Last week fans became concerned when his eyes were noticeably yellow during a recent taping of NFL Countdown. He soon started wearing sunglasses during segments. Randy Moss made sure to address this directly saying that wearing the eyewear is not “being disrespectful,” but explained he is wearing them “because I’m on television.”
Yellowing of the eyes are a sign of a serious medical condition. According to WebMD common causes of yellow eyes include Hepatitis, consuming too much alcohol, liver infection and sickle cell anemia.
