Randy Moss’s son refutes health claims made about the legendary wide receiver

Randy Moss’s son gave an update of sorts.

Ever since Randy Moss took a hiatus from ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown due to an unnamed health issue, prayers have been sent the Hall of Fame wide receiver’s way.

But with a report about what exactly the health issue was — something private that shouldn’t be thrown around on social media — there have been a lot more prayers.

Moss’s son Thaddeus specifically tweeted at former Moss teammate Brett Favre, saying this: “Brett, the support is appreciated, truly. This is not true. My father will address the world when he is ready to.”

So let’s keep up the prayers and not speculate on what he’s suffering from.

Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison achieve Vikings history together

Vikings’ wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison combined on Sunday to do something no other duo in team history had accomplished

The Minnesota Vikings have had a number of great receivers throughout their history. Cris Carter and Randy Moss are both Hall of Fame wide receivers and are widely considered two of the best ever to play the game. Jake Reed was an integral complement to Carter on a number of Vikings’ teams of the 90s.

In more modern times, Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs have contributed to some of the best pre-Justin Jefferson seasons and some of the best moments in Minnesota Vikings history — like the Minneapolis Miracle. And yet, despite all the greats who have put on a Vikings’ uniform at the position, the current duo of receivers achieved something on Sunday that no tandem in Vikings’ history was able to.

With both Jefferson and his counterpart Jordan Addison having breakout days on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, ruining Kirk Cousins’ return to Minnesota, they became the first duo in Vikings history to both have 100+ receiving yards and two touchdowns in the same game.

To take their accomplishment a step further, they became just the fifth duo in NFL history (in the Super Bowl era) to each have over 130 yards receiving and two touchdowns in the same game. The display was the clearest sign yet of what this offense is capable of when it’s firing on all cylinders.

Why Randy Moss is missing on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown in Week 14

Here’s why he’s missing.

Randy Moss has become a terrific on-air presence with ESPN and Sunday NFL Countdown, but you won’t see him this week and maybe for a little while.

It was just earlier this week that ESPN announced the Hall of Fame wideout would be taking a hiatus due to “a personal health challenge” and that the Worldwide Leader would support him returning when he’s ready.

We have no details on what exactly is the health issue, but we and so many others are sending wishes to Moss to get well soon, whatever it is.

Now you know what he’s not with the crew on Sunday.

NFL legend Randy Moss makes decision following recent health issues

Randy Moss has decided to step away from “Sunday NFL Countdown”

Former New England Patriots legendary wide receiver Randy Moss is stepping away from his role on “Sunday NFL Countdown” to focus on his recent health issue.

Last week, the Hall of Famer revealed he was “battling something internally” and asked for prayers. On Friday, a statement was put out by ESPN that Moss would be stepping away from the show for an “extended time.”

“Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss will step away from Sunday NFL Countdown for an extended time to focus on a personal health challenge,” the statement read. “He briefly addressed the matter at the start of the show on Dec. 1.

“For nearly a decade, Randy has been an invaluable member of the team, consistently elevating Countdown with his insight and passion. He has ESPN’s full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.”

Not only was Moss arguably the greatest receiver in NFL history, but he has been an incredible NFL analyst as well. His voice and commentary will be sorely missed while he’s gone.

Here’s hoping he makes a full recovery and gets back to doing what he loves to do.

Justin Jefferson passes Randy Moss in Vikings record books in Week 11

On Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was able to pass Randy Moss in the team’s record books.

On Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was able to pass Randy Moss in the team’s record books. He did so on a 31-yard reception in the first half on a scoring drive for the team.

Justin Jefferson passed Randy Moss, who had 6,743 receiving yards in his first five seasons with the team, for the most receiving yards by a player in Vikings history.

Jefferson has worked his way up the Vikings’ all-time receiving yard ranks as well this season. He recently passed Adam Thielen and now has his eyes on Anthony Carter, who is ahead of him.

For now, though, his prize will have to be finally passing Randy Moss in a Vikings statistical category. If he keeps things up, he should pass all-time in franchise receiving yards within the next two to three years.

Randy Moss found joy in one particular moment from the Vikings win in Week 10

One of those plays was made by Camryn Bynum, who had an interception and then unleashed one of his trademark celebrations.

The Minnesota Vikings didn’t have much to celebrate on Sunday but won the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In that game the offense looked rough, Sam Darnold played his worst game of the season, but the defense made some plays.

One of those plays was made by Camryn Bynum, who had an interception and then unleashed one of his trademark celebrations. Earlier this year, we got The Parent Trap , and on Sunday, we got something new—something so glorious that Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss chimed in.

The Vikings have made themselves known for their celebrations this year, led by Camryn Bynum.

The game as a whole was rather forgetful, with the turnovers and struggles of new tackle Cam Robinson, but at the end of the game, this was able to salvage some happiness from fans and Hall of Farmers alike.

The Vikings will look to bounce back strongly and more impressively against the Titans in Week 11.
