2020 has been tough on everyone, but from a football perspective, it’s been brutal for Michigan State Football wide receiver CJ Hayes. Hayes had foot surgery back at the start of the year, and was unfortunately forced to have surgery again this week.

CJ Hayes and his father Carl both tweeted about the surgery today, although no more specifics were given as to what the actual injury was. Carl Hayes noted that this will be his son’s second surgery in 8 months.

This is especially brutal as Hayes was poised to compete for a role in a revamped Spartans passing game this year that was bound to have plenty of opportunities.

We at SpartansWire hope for CJ Hayes to have a swift recovery.

WATCH: MSU Football WR CJ Hayes posts workout video 3 months after foot surgery

Apparently three months ago Michigan State wide receiver CJ Hayes had foot surgery but is now healthy.

CJ Hayes is heading into his redshirt junior year after tallying 14 catches for 154 yards over 19 career games in his time as a Michigan State Spartan, and it looks like he should now be 100% for the season. Apparently, Hayes was dealing with a foot injury, something that I actually wasn’t aware of, but he posted a video on Monday working out and announced that Monday marked 3 months since foot surgery.

We currently have Hayes projected to be a factor on the roster this year as a veteran contributor behind the likes of Jalen Nailor, Tre Mosley, and Jayden Reed, so it’s good to see that he is healthy and able to put in some offseason work.

You can watch the video below:

Hayes was an Academic All-Big Ten honoree in 2018 as a redshirt freshman.
