Lions' Golladay hopes to make debut vs. Cards - 2 minutes read


The Detroit Lions seem to be closer to getting back their top wide receiver.

Kenny Golladay said he hopes to make his season debut against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after missing the first two games with a hamstring injury. "God-willing, I'm going to try everything in my power to be out there with the guys," Golladay said.

The Pro Bowl wide receiver practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and said while he doesn't feel 100 percent -- he wouldn't put a percentage on how healthy he is -- he's going to do everything he can and show enough to play against Arizona.

In three career games, Golladay has three touchdowns against Arizona.

Golladay, 26, said the injury has been frustrating, but that unlike his rookie year when he also had a hamstring injury, he listened to his body more this time around. He also said he understood his body more and wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any setbacks. So he listened to his trainers and didn't push anything.

"Me missing a couple of games to try and be back hopefully for Week 3," Golladay said. "That's better than me missing six games."

Detroit is getting healthier. In addition to Golladay, right tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai (foot) is questionable but practiced all week. Cornerback Desmond Trufant (hamstring) is doubtful, safety C.J. Moore (calf) is questionable and tight end Hunter Bryant (hamstring) is out.
