Rivers is getting the 'protected player' treatment that McVay always gives to guys he thinks are important to the regular season roster. He hasn't played at all. If Rivers makes the roster, the reason for it should be obvious: He's the team's kick returner.

Kick returner role likely secures roster spot despite preseason inactivity.

Running back on 47% of fan rosters facing a controversial roster bubble decision. Through two preseason games, Rivers is receiving the 'protected player' treatment from McVay, indicating he's likely to make the roster. The primary reason for his roster inclusion is his role as the team's kick returner. If Rivers does not make the cut, it would be because the team preferred what they saw from Jarquez Hunter, Dean Connors, or Jordan Waters. Special teams duty appears to be the key differentiator keeping Rivers on the roster over other running back candidates.
