JALEN Carter was disqualified from the NFL season opener – before even playing a snap.
The Philadelphia Eagles defender was hit with an unsportsmanlike penalty Thursday night.
It happened just six seconds into the first game of the 2025 NFL season.
Defensive tackle Carter, 24 seemingly had words with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
And then NBC cameras captured him apparently spitting in the direction of Prescott.
The officials immediately intervened and tossed Carter from the game.
The incident occurred during a dead ball when the Cowboys were lining up for their first offensive drive.
NBC broadcasters Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth were left in disbelief at the moment.
Carter is widely considered the best player on the Eagles defence.
But he left his team facing an uphill battle after an ejection just six seconds in.
