The Philadelphia Eagles kicked off the 2025 season vs. the rival Dallas Cowboys Thursday evening, and we noticed an ejection earlier than the primary play from scrimmage. Eagles star defensive deal with Jalen Carter was booted from the sport after the opening kickoff for showing to spit on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
Attributable to an harm on the opening kickoff, there was a pause in play. Because the beginning Cowboys offense and beginning Eagles protection took the sphere, Carter approached Prescott. The 2 exchanged phrases earlier than Carter spit on Prescott’s uniform.
Take a look at what occurred, right here:
As CBS Sports activities’ Jonathan Jones famous, Carter will probably be fined for his actions.

Final season, he recorded 42 mixed tackles, 4.5 sacks and made his first Professional Bowl. The 53 pressures Carter racked up en path to the Tremendous Bowl ranked fourth-most amongst all defensive tackles in 2024. His loss is a large one for Vic Fangio’s unit.
