By JACK BEZANTS

Randy Moss is set to make an emotional return to his broadcasting duties for the Super Bowl, months after revealing he has cancer.

Moss, 47, is expected to return to ESPN on Sunday with an appearance on NFL Countdown ahead of the Super Bowl in New Orleans between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter first reported the news, saying that Moss will be live on the air from 10am ET.

It comes days after he joined via video call at the NFL Honors on Thursday to hand out the Comeback Player of the Year award.

‘I’m sorry I could not be there in person to join you all, but I want to send a special thank you to all of my doctors, my beautiful wife, my children, my family, my teammates, and all the prayer warriors out there,’ Ross said.

‘We are facing cancer and I cannot wait to get back on television with all my guys. But tonight, I am thrilled to present an award that I was honored to win myself back in 2007 with the New England Patriots. 23 touchdowns.

In November, fans were concerned for Moss as they saw his eyes appearing yellow on TV

Randy Moss told fans he is battling cancer in an emotional Instagram Live video in December

‘There’s no better story in the National Football League than the one about a player who does big things, overcome adversity and face obstacles, but ultimately find their way back to the mountaintop.’

Back in November, a number of fans had grown concerned about Moss’ health when his eyes appeared yellow on ESPN. 

That led to Moss making the shock announcement about his health a month ago, appearing on an Instagram Live video alongside his sons to tell fans he had undergone a six-hour surgery and could not walk without a cane.

Speaking about his cancer battle in December, Moss said: ‘I’ve told y’all over the last couple of weeks about me battling something internally, and ya boy is a cancer survivor.’

He then revealed: ‘I did have cancer, they found it in the bile duct, right between the pancreas and the liver, and the cancer was sitting right outside the bile duct.

‘So my doctors went in, I had six hours’ surgery, and for a lot of you guys wondering, you can Google it. I had a Whipple procedure. The best doctor in the United States, Dr [John] Martinie, I am forever grateful.’
