This will be the first time that Moss has appeared on the show since Week 14. During the previous week’s show, Moss revealed that he was dealing with a health issue and would therefore be wearing sunglasses during the broadcast.

He then explained that he will be taking some time off, before finally announcing on Instagram that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
“Well good morning, man. I just wanted to share something with you all, man,” Moss began at the top of Countdown. “I put a post up maybe a few minutes ago on Instagram just telling people, just, you were talking about my eyes last week, and I just want to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally. You know, I have some great doctors around me. I couldn’t miss the show, I wanted to be here with you guys. I feel great, but if you all see me with these Michigan turnover glasses that I have on, it’s not being disrespectful because I’m on television, man. I’m battling something, I need all the prayer warriors. God bless you all and thanks for the prayers.”
“It’s beautifully said. All for one and one for all. If he’s wearing glasses, we’re all wearing glasses today,” Countdown host Mike Greenberg said as the rest of the cast put glasses on in solidarity.
