5 things we learned from training camp (8/3)

2. Golladay enjoys strong day

Kenny Golladay was one of the Giants’ big free agent acquisitions in 2021. He started 14 games in his first season with the team, catching 37 passes for 521 yards.

Shane Lemieux entered the 2021 season as the Giants’ starting left guard, but a knee injury early in the first game led to the lineman missing the rest of the year. Lemieux is now healthy and fully participating in practice, getting himself prepared for the season.

“It’s good. It’s just staying on top of my rehab, the stuff I’ve done in the offseason and kind of make it right,” the third-year lineman said. “Sticking to my routine.
