OLYMPICSRIO DE JANEIRO -- The IOC approved the entry of 271 Russian athletes for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, meaning 70 percent of the countrys original team will compete after a doping scandal that has dominated the buildup to the games.The IOC rule barring Russian athletes with prior doping sanctions from competing in the games was also rejected as unenforceable by a sports arbitration panel, a decision which could open the door to further appeals and more Russians being entered.The International Olympic Committee announced the go-ahead for 271 Russian athletes about 24 hours before the opening ceremony of the games.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For now, Chip Kelly is sticking with Blaine Gabbert through thick and thin.And time will tell what the 49ers coach decides if and when backup Colin Kaepernick gets back to his ideal playing weight and finds a groove following surgeries on his non-throwing left shoulder, left knee and right thumb.After a commanding 28-0 Monday night win against the Rams in Week 1, Gabbert and San Francisco lost 47-26 Sunday on the road to Cam Newton and Carolina.Hes our starter and Ive got a lot of confidence in Blaine, Kelly said Monday. So, were not thinking or talking about not having Blaine in there. Its about everybody on offense playing better right now.While Gabbert threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns, he also tossed a pair of late interceptions and was sacked twice. And it hardly gets any easier this week.San Francisco (1-1) is going to the hostile confines of CenturyLink Field to face the nemesis Seattle Seahawks and their experienced, staunch secondary -- a group of defensive backs far more experienced than what the Panthers possess.Kaepernick, meanwhile, continues to regain his strength with an aim of returning to his previous playing weight of about 225 pounds, though Kelly isnt sure how close he is to that number right now. Kaepernick, whose decision not to stand for the national anthem has been one of the NFLs biggest stories, wasnt able to lift weights for much of his time rehabbing from the three surgeries.Its not something thats going to happen overnight, Kelly said. Hes not going to get to 225 in a week. If you are, its not going to be a good 225. Its about building himself back up, and you can see kind of where hes comfortable in terms of being able to play. Its something thatt hes working extremely hard at.dddddddddddd Its just, you cant force that issue.Tackle Anthony Davis is in the NFLs concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury during Thursdays practice, which was the lone session of the week in pads. He did not travel to North Carolina with the team.Davis, who turns 27 next month, retired in June 2015 after his previous season was affected by a concussion that left him loopy.Davis said in early December 2014 he was able to drive home following a cross-country flight from New York in November that year despite feeling loopy from a concussion he didnt initially realize was so severe.He took an elbow to the head during that Nov. 16, 2014, victory against the Giants. He missed the next four games before returning for San Franciscos last two contests of the season.He was reinstated by the NFL on July 30 and returned to the team for the start of training camp. He was San Franciscos first-round draft choice, taken 11th overall in 2010 out of Rutgers.I have not had a chance to talk to A.D. since this occurred. It happened in Thursdays training session and then Friday morning we were notified that he wasnt going to travel with us, Kelly said. So, I havent talked to him. I havent seen A.D. since Thursday, so well see where he is with it and whats going on. And obviously, hell go into the league concussion protocol and well go through all the process there. Theres a system in place to make sure that hes not going to be put in harms way, so well see how that goes.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
