Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter could face a suspension for spitting at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the first game of the NFL season last Thursday.
Head coach Nick Sirianni said the team should know more about any punishment or discipline for Carter this week.
'You are constantly trying to help guys not only become better football players but better men. I think that's more important. You are always doing what's best for the team and for those guys in every moment,' Sirianni said in a Tuesday interview with 94 WIP radio in Philadelphia.
'Accountability is so big with our organization. If you brush by mistakes, if you don't dive into mistakes, those mistakes will linger. I'm not only talking about that incident. I'm talking about everything. There's a death by inches when you don't address mistakes, don't correct mistakes, hold people accountable. That's myself too, that's coaches.'
Carter, 24, was ejected from the game, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a radio interview on Tuesday morning with 105.3 FM in Dallas that is enough of a deterrent to prevent players from such in-game conduct.
Asked about reports the Eagles made the best offer to the Cowboys for pass rusher Micah Parsons, Jones admitted there was a conversation but Dallas didn't make a counter offer.
He said once the team determined it would listen to offers, the phone never stopped ringing, and they settled on a swap for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks from the Packers for the 26-year-old Parsons.
