NFL Fines Eagles Jalen Carter $57,222 for Spitting on Cowboys QB Dak Prescott
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was fined $57,222 by the NFL for spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott seconds into the 2025 season opener. Carter was ejected before playing a single snap, and the NFL ruled that his immediate disqualification counts as a one-game suspension, which he has effectively served. Carter chose not to appeal the fine or suspension and is expected to play in the Eagles' upcoming Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs. The incident marked the first time the NFL has suspended a player for spitting on an opponent, setting a new precedent despite the suspension being retroactive. Carter apologized for his actions, acknowledging the mistake and expressing regret toward his teammates and fans. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni emphasized that any further team discipline would be handled privately, while the team is focused on moving past the incident.
