In addition to sharing his diagnosis and what he has been going through recently, Moss also made sure to let everyone know that he is doing well after his surgery.
"I'm nursing myself back. Yes, it's going to be a little tough road with some chemo and radiation. But like I said, I'm good."
Moss, who is 47-years-old now, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. The last time he appeared in an NFL game was back in the 2013 season in Super Bowl XLVII as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
Moss entered the league in 1998 after the Vikings drafted him with a first-round pick. In Minnesota, he made an immediate impact, setting multiple rookie records and helping the team make it all the way to the NFC Championship.
He wound up spending eight seasons with the Vikings, and currently, he ranks second all-time in team history in career receptions and career receiving yards.
