Scully won’t call playoffs:

NEW YORK — Vin Scully says the last ballgame he will broadcast is the Los Angeles Dodgers’ regular-season finale — regardless of whether they reach the playoffs. The 88-year-old announcer tells the Los Angeles Times his Hall of Fame career will end Oct. 2 in San Francisco. Scully had already said this will be his final season in the booth after 67 years, but until Tuesday had not announced whether he planned to call any potential postseason games on radio.

No timetable for Ivory return:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars say running back Chris Ivory has been released from the hospital and is doing well, but his availability for Sunday’s game at San Diego remains in question. Ivory was hospitalized Sunday with a “general medical issue” and missed the season opener against Green Bay. The Jaguars say there is no timetable for his return.

Saints release Spiller:

METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints have released running back C.J. Spiller, who signed a four-year, $16 million free-agent contract just last season. Spiller was a healthy scratch Sunday, when the Saints opened the regular season with a 35-34 loss to Oakland. On Monday, Saints coach Sean Payton said Spiller was scratched because there wasn’t room for him in the Raiders game plan, adding that Spiller’s role could change “week to week.” But when the NFL posted transactions, Spiller’s contract had been terminated.

Sweeney says right to protest:

CLEMSON, S.C. — Coach Dabo Swinney says he wouldn’t discipline Clemson players for protesting the national anthem because just like San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, they have that right. But Swinney said Tuesday he disagrees with Kaepernick’s actions because they create divisiveness among people and muddy the message.

UNC football player accused:

RALEIGH, N.C. — A magistrate issued an arrest warrant Tuesday for a North Carolina football player accused of sexual battery and assault on a female student in February. The warrant charges Allen Artis, a 21-year-old junior linebacker from Marietta, Georgia, with two misdemeanors and says he had sex with the woman against her will.
