Vic Fangio challenges Jalen Carter after inexcusable ejection in Week 1
Vic Fangio, Philadelphia Eagles | Bill Streicher-Imagn ImagesNot everyone in the Philadelphia Eagles' organization will automatically open their arms to defensive tackle Jalen Carter.
In Week 1, Carter was ejected one play into the 24-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys after spitting at quarterback Dak Prescott. That resulted in a one-game suspension (the Cowboys game being used for that) and a fine of over $57,000 by the NFL.
It was the punishment that many thought was coming for Carter, as it fit the offense he committed. There will be work with restoring trust within the team, starting with his defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio.
