From the article

he looked like his old self on Tuesday, particularly on the first team drill of the day. LaPorta made back-to-back catches right up the seam. The first went for about 25-30 yards, as he made a twisting, acrobatic back-shoulder catch. The second, he scampered in for a 10-yard touchdown and made it look easy. He's now put together a few good days, and it appears the rust is off.

LaPorta shakes rust with back-to-back seam catches, including TD grab in team drills.

After a slow start to training camp due to back surgery recovery and limited early workload, LaPorta showed his old form on Tuesday, making back-to-back catches up the seam in first-team drills—a 25-30 yard acrobatic back-shoulder catch followed by a 10-yard touchdown. The source notes he's now put together a few good days and the rust appears to be off, suggesting he's regaining the game-changing, play-making ability that was valuable for the offense over the past three years.
