Jalen Carter<\/strong><\/a>‘s spit just cost him a wad of cash — the NFL just hit the Eagles defensive tackle with a $57K fine for his role in a wet incident with Dak Prescott<\/strong><\/a> in the season opener.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

The NFL revealed the punishment on Tuesday … days after Carter was caught in the act at the beginning of “Thursday Night Football” last week.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The league stated the fine will be Carter’s game check — which comes out to $57,222.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

He was also suspended for one game … but the league said “because Carter was disqualified before participating in a single play, the suspension is considered to have been served.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

That said, the Pro Bowler will be eligible to play in the Eagles’ game against the Chiefs on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

“The NFL Players Association has informed the NFL that Carter will not contest the discipline and has waived his right to appeal,” the league said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

Carter — the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft — apologized for the gross gesture<\/strong><\/a> … saying it was a mistake and it won’t happen again.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
