News: McKnight, who bulked up this offseason, is at 216 pounds at the moment and hopes to settle into the 205-210 range by Week 1, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Impact: McKnight is about 15 pounds heavier than he was last season, by design. "I was what, 198?" McKnight noted. "I had to eat. I gained the weight the right way then I worked out and turned it into muscle." Though he admitted that dining at McDonald's helped him add weight, he believes the extra pounds won't hinder his speed. "I don't feel like I've been slowed down," McKnight said. "And from what I heard it doesn't look like I've slowed down, I got more explosive, more powerful out of my cuts, I could say that." In any case, the departure of LaDainian Tomlinson opens up the opportunity for McKnight to see an expanded workload this season, in tandem with Shonn Greene.(RotoWire, )
