Jalen Carter Ejected For Spitting On Dak Prescott

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia defensive tackle Jalen Carter apologized after he was ejected for spitting on Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott moments after the Eagles’ pregame Super Bowl championship celebration. Carter was tossed for for unsportsmanlike conduct six seconds into Philadelphia’s 24-20 victory in the lightning-delayed NFL opener that ended early Friday. The Eagles were hit with a 15-yard penalty before the first snap from scrimmage, and the Cowboys scored on the opening drive. Prescott and Carter exchanged words after the opening kickoff, and Carter spit on Prescott’s jersey. Prescott quickly motioned to a nearby official who threw the flag and sent Carter packing. Fans booed as Carter walked off slowly, holding his helmet in his hands behind his back. Carter apologized after the game.
