Title/Alt TextIrish247 has learned that one of Notre Dame’s home-run threats will miss some time this spring and summer.

We’ve confirmed, through a source, that wide receiver CJ Sanders will miss the next few months due to a hip injury.

Our source maintains that this injury will require surgery and we're told the plan is to get that taken care of within the next week. Per our source, the doctors are extremely optimistic that surgery will go smooth and Sanders will be back and ready to go prior to the start of the 2016 football season.

Our source maintains that the doctors believe he will "come back 100-percent and regain all of his explosion and range of motion." From people we’ve spoken to, there are no concerns regarding his future, as they believe he will be just as strong this upcoming season as he was in year one.

As a freshman, Sanders returned both a kick and punt for a touchdown.
