From the article

LaPorta looked fully healthy. The Pro Bowl tight end took roughly 90% of the first-team offensive reps, only coming off the field for a handful of snaps. LaPorta wasn't heavily featured as a receiver, finishing with one short catch from Jared Goff, but the bigger takeaway was how comfortable and fluid he looked coming off his back injury.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

LaPorta's full-speed return from back injury secures his role as a premier offensive weapon.

LaPorta looked fully healthy and comfortable coming off his back injury, taking roughly 90% of first-team offensive reps and only coming off the field for a handful of snaps; while not heavily featured as a receiver (one short catch), his fluid movement at full speed entering the season is an encouraging development for Detroit's offense.
