But beginning Sunday at home against the Houston Texans, the sixth-year wide receiver hopes to be a major contributor in the team’s final nine games. “Definitely,” Golladay said yesterday. “That’s really my main goal, is to hit the ground running. I don’t want to come in the game and act like I lost a step as far as playbook wise, like I’m not mentally prepared. Even when I wasn’t playing, I was making sure I was mentally prepared the entire time as if I was playing. That’s really my main goal, when I do get in there it’s not like a fall off.” Golladay missed the final four games before the Giants’ bye with a knee injury he suffered on Oct. 2 against Chicago. He has not caught a pass since late in the second quarter of the Giants’ opener in Tennessee on Sept. 11, when he had his season total of two catches for 22 yards. This week, Golladay is officially limited in practice. Tuesday, coach Brian Daboll said Golladay, “should be ready to go” in the game. He was not as definitive yesterday. “We’ll just take it day-by-day, game-by-game, wherever is goes,” Daboll said. “(He) showed some good stuff (in practice yesterday). Probably will keep him limited today, but he had enough reps to look at. I thought he did a good job coming back from what he’s been through.” Click here to read more about Kenny Golladay's potential return
