Patriots Legend Set For Super Bowl TV Return After Health Scare

Several former New England Patriots are prominent in the football media these days, and Super Bowl Sunday marks the triumphant return of a Hall of Famer.

Randy Moss took a leave of absence from ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” in December upon news of a cancer diagnosis. The former Patriots wideout battled back from the diagnosis and now prepares for his television return.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared on X Saturday night that Moss would indeed return to the show for the Super Bowl broadcast Sunday before the Kansas City Chiefs battle the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Moss played in two Super Bowls during his playing career with tough losses to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII with the Patriots as well as Super Bowl XLVII when his San Francisco 49ers fell to the Baltimore Ravens. The star wideout did score a late touchdown with under three minutes remaining that gave New England the lead against New York. Prior to Sunday, that latter game marked the last Super Bowl to be played in New Orleans 12 years ago.

Moss is one of several former Patriots on the air Sunday before Tom Brady calls the game with Kevin Burkhardt on FOX.
