McVay indicating Rivers is on the roster. Through 2 preseason games, 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.

Rivers' kick returner role signals McVay protection for regular season roster.

McVay is giving Rivers the 'protected player' treatment through 2 preseason games, keeping him out of action entirely, which signals McVay views him as important to the regular season roster. Rivers' primary value is as the team's kick returner, a role that could be the deciding factor in his roster inclusion over other running back candidates like Jarquez Hunter, Dean Connors, or Jordan Waters.
