Philadelphia Eagles star defensive tackle Jalen Carter will be eligible for their Week 2 Super Bowl rematch at the Kansas City Chiefs after spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott last week.
Carter was ejected from the Cowboys game Thursday when he spat on Prescott before the first play from scrimmage of the season opener. The NFL announced Tuesday that it will fine Carter his Week 1 game check and consider that his one-game suspension without pay. ESPN reported that Carter makes $57,222 per week.
'Because Carter was disqualified before participating in a single play, the suspension is considered to have been served in Week 1 and he will forfeit his game check,' the league said in a release.
Carter will not appeal the discipline and move on to face the Chiefs on Sunday.
Prescott gave his side of the story after the Eagles beat the Cowboys 24-20, saying that he spat on the ground while talking to a teammate and Carter believed the quarterback spat at him. The two exchanged words while there was a stoppage in play following the opening kickoff, before Carter spat on Prescott with an official nearby.
Carter, 24, apologized after the game and promised it wouldn't happen again.
Carter was a Pro Bowler last season after racking up 4.5 sacks among his 12 tackles for loss, plus six pass deflections and two forced fumbles. He was the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, sliding after legal troubles cropped up around the time of the scouting combine.
