Jalen Carter, defensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, was fined $57,222 for spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott just before the first play from scrimmage during Thursday night's NFL season opener.

According to CBS Sports, the league announced on Tuesday that Carter’s ejection from the game would serve as a one-game suspension. Carter will not be subject to any further punishment from the league or the Eagles. 

"After talking to the Eagles, the NFL and the NFLPA, Jalen has decided not to appeal and focus on the Chiefs game," Drew Rosenhaus, Carter's agent, said in a statement to ESPN. 

Carter's ejection was the fastest to take place in an NFL game in nearly two decades. The other incident happend on Sept. 12, 2005 when Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter and Atlanta Falcons cornerback Kevin Mathis were dismissed after a fight during the pregame. 

After the Eagles' 24-20 win, Carter regretted his behavior and promised it would never happen again.

"It was a mistake that happened on my side. It just won't happen again," Carter said following the game. "I feel bad, just for my teammates and the fans out there. I'm doing it for them. I'm doing it for my family also. They showed the most love. You heard them out there today. 

"Just not being able to finish the game, or start the game even, finish the game (is disappointing). It won't happen again, I promise,” he continued. 

Carter is eligible to play Sunday vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.
