The NFL handed Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter a $57,222 fine after he spit at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the beginning of last Thursday's season opener. Carter didn't play a single snap in the game since he was ejected right after the spit, meaning that served as his one-game suspension from the league, too.
The NFL's decision definitely sets a precedent for players in the future regarding unsportsmanlike conduct similar to this situation. So, will the Eagles follow suit and punish their defensive star internally, too?
