Randy Moss has revealed that he wears sunglasses during the Sunday NFL Countdown because he is “struggling with something internally.”
The Hall of Fame wide receiver, now an analyst, made the announcement at the start of Sunday’s show.
Last week, fans were concerned about Moss as viewers said his eyes looked yellow while he was working on the show.
“I just want to share something with you,” Moss said at the start of the show, before putting on his sunglasses.
“I just want the viewers to know that me and my wife, me and my family, we’re struggling with something internally. I have some great doctors around me.
‘I couldn’t miss the show, I wanted to be here with you, I feel great. But if you guys see me with these Michigan turnover glasses I’m wearing, it’s not disrespectful.”
