I don't really know how I can justify cutting McKinnon TBH. He fills a lot of check marks for Andy Reid's wants in a RB. I do think that Rojo does make those 2nd/3rd and shorts open up the playbook in those inside runs more so than McKinnon. But McKinnon's being injury prone is a real concern.

CEH has had his injury issues, McKinnon is fragile. If they go down, you have Pacheco, a 7th rounder with zero NFL experience. I know these TC reports are all glittery and toasted marshmellows on Pacheco making the roster on a few early comments. But let's see what the preseason games bring before we start anointing 7th rounders the next coming of Kareem Hunt before opening day.

I am going to go on record here the RB room is CEH/McKinnon/Rojo with Pacheco protected on the PS squad. Never know though, maybe we can spin off McKinnon or Rojo for a future pick.
