Overview

  • Carter’s ejection six seconds into the opener was deemed a one-game suspension already served, so no additional ban was imposed.
  • The NFLPA told the league there will be no appeal, making Carter eligible for Philadelphia’s Week 2 matchup in Kansas City.
  • Broadcast angles and postgame comments show Dak Prescott spat forward near the Eagles before Carter spat on Prescott, drawing an immediate ejection.
  • ESPN reports the Eagles and agent Drew Rosenhaus agreed the team will not pursue voiding contract guarantees or signing-bonus forfeiture tied to the discipline.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni said any team discipline will remain private as the league reinforces stricter standards on conduct that demeans the game.
