  • Jalen Carter was ejected 6 seconds in the NFL’s first game of the season.
  • After spitting on Dak Prescott, Carter was forced to leave the field early.
  • He’ll face the possibility of a further suspension and fines as the NFL reacts.

After spitting on Dak Prescott and getting ejecting, 6 seconds into the first NFL game of the season, Jalen Carter is facing a potential suspension and/or hefty fines. Let’s view the precedent and project his outcome.

Jalen Carter Suspension

In past incidents, fines were more commonly handed out then suspensions. Additionally, suspensions are not common when the player in question was already ejected from a game for their actions. This, coupled with Dak having involvement in the spitting, makes a suspension less likely for Carter, but not impossible.
