There has been speculation that Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter could be suspended for spitting at Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. That apparently won't happen.
A league official told USA TODAY Sports' Jarrett Bell that a suspension for Carter isn't on the table. The official was granted anonymity because the NFL is still examining the situation.
Carter was arguing with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and spit at the quarterback. He was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected.
“It was a mistake that happened on my side, and it just won’t happen again," Carter said. "I feel bad, just for my teammates and the fans out there. It won’t happen again. I made that promise."
