Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter was ejected before playing a down in Thursday night’s season opener against the Dallas Cowboys after he spit on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that while Eagles fullback Ben VanSumeren’s injured knee was being examined, Prescott spit on the ground near the Eagles defensive huddle. Carter took offense and approached Prescott, claiming Prescott was being “hostile.”
While Prescott was explaining that wasn’t his intention, Carter spit right at Prescott.
The incident occurred right by an official, who immediately threw his flag and ejected Carter.
The Eagles currently lead the Cowboys, 24-20. The game is in a weather delay.
