Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys for spitting on quarterback Dak Prescott. The incident, which occurred after Prescott allegedly spat first, resulted in Carter's immediate ejection and left the Eagles' defense short-handed for the entire game. Despite the absence, the Eagles won 24-20. Carter expressed remorse and vowed it wouldn't happen again, while Prescott downplayed the incident. The Eagles acknowledged Carter's importance but emphasized the need for improved discipline.
