Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter was ejected in the first quarter of his team’s 24-20 Week 1 victory over the Dallas Cowboys Thursday for spitting on quarterback Dak Prescott. After the game, Prescott spoke with his former head coach and current NBC analyst, Jason Garrett.
Prescott told Garrett that he spit over teammate Tyler Booker’s shoulder while they were in the offensive huddle. Carter thought Prescott spit at him, and he responded spitting on Prescott.
“I talked to Dak as he was coming off the field after the game,” Garrett said. “Dak said he was talking to Tyler Booker, and he had to spit. So, he spit over Booker’s shoulder. I guess Jalen Carter was looking at him and he came over and he said, ‘Are you spitting at me?’ Then Dak said, ‘Why would I spit at you?’ He [Carter] got closer, and he spit back at him. I guess it was a misunderstanding.”
