I guess since it's in the preamble

It is not in the preamble, it's not in the packet at all.
It is measured by the hardware during preamble reception.

I guess that makes more sense, and I'm assuming there's no way to get at that measured value unless exposed through the SDK. I don't see anything in the SDK that suggests it's possible.

SDK Programming Guide v1.1.2 pg 141

struct RxControl {
signed rssi:8; // signal intensity of packet
.
