NFL Weighs Discipline for Jalen Carter After Spitting Ejection

Philadelphia expects a ruling this week with team leaders stressing accountability.

Overview

  • Eagles DT Jalen Carter was ejected Thursday for spitting on Cowboys QB Dak Prescott before playing a defensive snap.
  • As of Tuesday morning, no league suspension or fine had been announced, though a decision was reported to be in final review with a suspension still possible.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni said the team anticipates clarity this week and emphasized the organization’s focus on accountability.
  • Pro Football Talk reported the NFL could opt for a fine roughly equal to a game check, estimated at about $57,222, rather than or in addition to a suspension.
  • Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the in-game ejection was enough of a deterrent, as the Eagles await word ahead of their matchup with the Chiefs.
