Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy underwent surgery after sustaining a meniscus injury in the spring, al.com reported.

Per the report, Jeudy is not expected to be sidelined for long and could return before the end of spring practice. The Crimson Tide will conclude their spring practice with the annual A-Day Spring Football Game on April 21.

Jeudy recorded 14 receptions for 264 yards and two touchdowns last season as a true freshman. His 18.9-yard average per catch ranked second on the Crimson Tide.

The sophomore is expected to be a starter this season as Alabama adjusts to the loss of Calvin Ridley, who made an early departure for the NFL.
