Concerns about Randy Moss’ health escalated when Larry Fitzgerald Sr., the son of former Arizona Cardinals star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, falsely stated on X that the Minnesota Vikings legend was battling liver cancer.
Moss’ son, Thaddeus, denied the report from Fitzgerald Sr. and called it “disgusting.” It’s all a moot point now, as the beloved NFL analyst and former star is healthy after winning the biggest battle of his life.

NFL fans have come together to offer their prayers and support for Moss during this scary time. Thankfully, the doctors were able to treat the issue quickly and get the cancer out of Moss’ body.
