Randy Moss will be back with ESPN on Sunday, just in time for Super Bowl LIX.

The six-time Pro Bowler is returning to the studio for "NFL Countdown" ahead of the clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter announced Saturday.

Moss stepped away from the show indefinitely back in December, due to what was described as a "personal health challenge." He had drawn attention the previous week for wearing sunglasses in the studio for an undisclosed reason.

Moss later confirmed his issue was cancer. He announced he had successfully undergone a complex surgery called a Whipple procedure to remove the cancerous cells, but said he still required chemotherapy and radiation treatment:

"I am a cancer survivor. Some trying times, of course, but, you know, we made it through. And for that I thank you all," Moss said.

Moss previously made a remote appearance during the NFL Honors on Thursday, announcing Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow as the Comeback Player of the Year.

There were a number of tributes toward Moss during his battle, including from his fellow Minnesota Vikings legends. He has spoken about touched he feels by all the support from family, friends and fans, and has also begun selling shirts and hoodies reading "Team Moss: Let's Moss Cancer" to benefit cancer research.
