US EditionEagles’ Jalen Carter won’t be suspended for Chiefs game after spitting on Dak Prescott
Jalen Carter was fined $57,222 for unsportsmanlike conduct after spitting on Dak Prescott; his ejection counts as a one-game suspension, making him eligible for the next game.
- On Tuesday, the NFL announced Jalen Carter, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle, was suspended without pay for one game and fined $57,222, with his ejection counting as the suspension.
- During the season opener on Thursday, September 4, at Lincoln Financial Field, video showed Jalen Carter spat on Dak Prescott before the first play, leading to Carter's ejection.
- Carter acknowledged the incident, saying `It was a mistake that happened on my side, and it just won’t happen again`, while NFL officials stressed spitting is a "disqualifiable foul" and Eagles coaches said Carter would face internal discipline.
- Because the ejection happened before he played, Jalen Carter must forfeit his Week 1 game check, the Philadelphia Eagles agreed not to void guarantees, and Drew Rosenhaus said Carter will not appeal, with the NFL Players Association waiving appeal rights.
- With Carter cleared to play, the Philadelphia Eagles face the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday at 4:25 p.m. in the Super Bowl LIX rematch, and the spitting incident could shape future punishments.
