Overview
- The NFL is reviewing the incident, with a fine expected and a suspension viewed as possible but uncommon based on past spitting cases.
- Head coach Nick Sirianni said any club response will remain private ahead of Sunday’s game in Kansas City.
- Carter was ejected six seconds into the season opener for spitting on Dak Prescott, drawing an unsportsmanlike-conduct call.
- The foul moved Dallas 15 yards before the first snap and the Cowboys finished the opening drive with a touchdown.
- Carter apologized after the game, while Prescott said he did not intentionally spit on the defender as the league emphasizes stricter sportsmanship enforcement this season.
