Eagles’ Jalen Carter fined for spitting on Dak Prescott but avoids further punishment
The NFL fined Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Carter $57,222 for spitting on Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Dak Prescott during the season opener. However, Carter avoided further punishment as the league considers his ejection from the game as a one-game suspension. The incident occurred just six seconds into the new season. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle was removed from the game before he could take a single snap. The Eagles have the option to impose additional discipline, such as benching Carter for the start of their upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The NFL's decision sets a precedent that spitting on an opponent will result in a one-game suspension, with the time served during the ejection counting towards the punishment.
