Kenny Golladay to Make Season Debut against Cardinals
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has been battling a hamstring injury since training camp.
Detroit's offense struggled to effectively throw the ball deep without the league's best deep threat.
According to NFL Network, Golladay is set to make his season debut against Arizona on Sunday.
"God willing, I'm gonna try everything in my power to be out there with the guys," the fourth-year receiver said Friday during a video conference with Detroit media.
He added, "Definitely feeling a lot better. I wouldn't say 100 percent. I really wouldn't even put a percentage on it. I just know I'm not 100 percent. Like I said, I'm going to do everything I can. Hopefully, I showed enough that I could be out there."
His return should also aid Detroit in meeting its early-season goal of running the football.
Through the first two weeks, teams have been taking away the deep pass, and have been collapsing the box due to Detroit's lack of a legitimate deep threat in Golladay's absence.
Marvin Jones Jr., Danny Amendola and T.J. Hockenson should also benefit from having Golladay back in the mix.
Detroit takes on the Cardinals from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., Sunday at 4:25 p.m. EST.
