Philadelphia Eagles star defensive tackle Jalen Carter will be eligible for their Week 2 Super Bowl rematch at the Kansas City Chiefs after spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott last week.

Carter was ejected from the Cowboys game Thursday when he spat on Prescott before the first play from scrimmage of the season opener. The NFL announced Tuesday that it will fine Carter his Week 1 game check and consider that his one-game suspension without pay. ESPN reported that Carter makes $57,222 per week.

Carter will not appeal the discipline and move on to face the Chiefs on Sunday.
