Eagles’ Jalen Carter punished by the NFL once again for yet another inexcusable mistake
Carter owes the NFL another big check.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is once again facing a fine from the league following his actions in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Carter owes the NFL $11,593 for taunting after blocking a field goal during the Eagles’ 33-26 victory over LA.
“The NFL fined #Eagles DT Jalen Carter $11,593 for taunting after a FG block in last week’s win over the #Rams. It’s the second time this season Carter has been disciplined for unsportsmanlike conduct. He was ejected and docked a game check for spitting on Dak Prescott in Week 1,” Pelissero wrote on X/Twitter.
As Pelissero mentioned, this marks the second time that Carter has been fined this season for unsportsmanlike conduct. His first fine happened in Week 1 after he spat on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and was immediately ejected before the first snap of the game.
That penalty hit Carter much harder, costing him $57,222. He is now out $68,815 through just the first three weeks of the 2025 NFL season.
Nick Sirianni Speaks on His Team’s Fouls
Head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t get too fired up over Carter or his other players’ fouls at the beginning of the season.
“I want these guys to play with great energy, great tenacity, while doing it within the rules of the game,” Sirianni said. “So, we’ll address that. We talked about that, obviously, at halftime. That’s a really good offense, and every one of their drives that resulted in points were all penalties. Now, a PI (Pass interference), that’s different. That’s in the heat of the game. Those are going to happen. But I know we had one with Nolan (Smith) and one with JC (Jalen Carter), and that creates short fields for an offense.
“Again, like I said, we want to be there. We want to have great energy, great tenacity, but we’ve got to do it within the rules of the game. We’ll address that. We’ll go through that, and we’ve got to get better in that scenario because we need that guy on the field because he’s a really good player.”
Sirianni also refused to bench Carter for his first big penalty. We’ll see if he punishes him a little harder after this one.
