"The NFL is calling Carter's discipline a one-game suspension with time served because he didn't play against the Cowboys. It's a distinction that sets a precedent that spitting on an opponent will result in a one-game suspension. Carter isn't appealing his penalty. I'm going to keep everything that I do with him private, regardless of if you see it on Sunday or not, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Monday about his best defensive player."
"Carter's infraction came moments after the franchise's Super Bowl banner was raised. He approached Prescott after the quarterback had stepped up in the huddle, stood between two of his linemen and spat on the ground in the direction of Carter, who was several yards away. The two players exchanged words before Carter spat on Prescott's jersey and backed away. Prescott quickly motioned to a nearby official, who threw the flag."
Jalen Carter spat on Dak Prescott seconds into the season opener, leading to his ejection before playing a snap and a $57,222 NFL fine. The league designated the penalty a one-game suspension with time served because Carter did not play against the Cowboys, establishing that spitting on an opponent will carry a one-game suspension. Carter is not appealing the penalty and apologized. The Eagles could add team discipline, such as benching him for the first series against the Kansas City Chiefs, though coach Nick Sirianni said all conversations and disciplinary matters with Carter will be handled privately.
