As speculation about Moss’ health continued, controversy arose when Larry Fitzgerald Sr., the father of former Cardinals star Larry Jr., claimed that Moss had cancer.
In response, Moss’ son, Thaddeus, took to social media to attack Fitzgerald Sr. and denied that his father had cancer.
But days later, Moss announced on December 13 that he had cancer and shared more about his overall condition.
In an Instagram Live video, a frail Moss can be seen hobbling around, wearing a “Team Moss” shirt, before revealing, “I’ve been telling y’all for the last few weeks that I’ve been fighting something internally, and boy is a cancer survivor.”
Later in the clip, he reveals, “I had cancer, they found it in the bile duct, right between the pancreas and the liver, and the cancer was just outside the bile duct.
“So my doctors went in, I was in surgery for six hours, and for a lot of you wondering, you can Google it. I had a Whipple procedure. The best doctor in the United States, Dr. (John) Martinie, I am eternally grateful to him.’
Moss later told fans he’s “finding his way back” and revealed, “It’s going to be a tough road with some chemo and some radiation.”

It is unclear whether Moss is now cancer-free, or if he is still receiving treatment in an attempt to remove the cancer cells from his body.
In the social media clip, Moss also took the time to thank several people for their support, starting with: ‘I would like to call out to many people who really helped me through this. I was in the hospital for six days, I just got out today, thank God.
“So first and foremost I want to thank God for blessing me and my family through this difficult time, and allowing me to come out of this surgery and fight the cancer.”
Moss is a six-time Pro Bowler, former Offensive Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year and Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor member.
He is widely regarded as one of the best wide receivers in NFL history.
