NFL player Jalen Carter has been fined $57,222 and suspended one game for spitting on Dak Prescott during the season opener. The suspension is considered served as Carter was ejected before playing. He will not appeal and is expected to play in Week 2. Carter apologized for his actions, claiming Prescott spat first, while Prescott denied this. The incident occurred just seconds into the game, resulting in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and ejection for Carter.
