ESPN personality Mike Greenberg might be on vacation, but he made it clear he's still keeping one of his colleagues in his prayers.

Greenberg, the host of "Sunday NFL Countdown" and "Get Up," hasn't been on TV this week since it's the holiday season. ESPN insider Dan Graziano has been filling in for him on "Get Up." Three days ago, Greenberg shared a picture from his latest getaway. He was wearing a "Team Moss" shirt in the photo he posted on X, the social media platform once known as Twitter.

The "Team Moss" shirt that Greenberg was wearing in this picture was a nod to Randy Moss, who revealed earlier this month that he was diagnosed with cancer.

Greenberg's post on social media included this beautiful caption: "No matter where, thinking of our guy."

Moss revealed in an Instagram video that he underwent a six-hour procedure to remove the cancerous mass in his bile duct. He said radiation and chemotherapy were the next phase of his recovery process.

Before Moss shared his diagnosis with the rest of the world, ESPN announced that he was stepping away from his role on "Sunday NFL Countdown."

"Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss wil step away from Sunday NFL Countdown for an extended time to focus on a personal health challenge," a statement from ESPN said. "He has ESPN's full support, and we look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready."

It's unclear how long it'll take for Moss to get back to 100 percent. All we know is that he wants to return to ESPN once he's cleared.

"As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set," Moss said. "Hopefully, I can be with you guys soon. My goal is to get back on television with my team."

In the meantime, Greenberg and the rest of the ESPN family will keep Moss in their prayers. The NFL legend has been part of the network since July 2016.
