Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter has been suspended without pay for one game due to unsportsmanlike conduct during last Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Carter was disqualified before playing and is considered to have served his suspension in Week 1, forfeiting his game check.
The NFL Players Association confirmed Carter will not contest the discipline and has waived his right to appeal. He is eligible to play in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL emphasized that rules against unsportsmanlike conduct remain a top priority. League officials said they will place particular focus on promoting sportsmanship throughout the season for players, teams, and staff.
