Eagles’ Jalen Carter Awaits NFL Discipline After Spitting Ejection

League discipline is pending, with the Eagles keeping any team punishment private.

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.
