Philadelphia defensive tackle Jalen Carter isn’t the only player being fined for an incident Week 1’s Cowboys-Eagles matchup.
On Saturday, the NFL announced that Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton was being fined $12,172 for unnecessary roughness. Guyton was specifically fined for a play that involved Eagles pass rusher Jalyx Hunt.
During the season-opening showdown, Guyton locked on Hunt before he threw a left-handed, open-faced jab against Hunt’s helmet. No flag was thrown on the play.
Guyton’s play went viral on social media after Dallas’ 24-20 loss.

“We want our guys to play on the edge and not go over the edge,” Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said.
“He attacked that game from a very, very physical and violent standpoint.”
Earlier in the week, the NFL announced that Carter was suspended without pay for one game after spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Because Carter was ejected without appearing in a play, the league said it considers the suspension to have been served and he will forfeit his check from the game.
Several Cowboys and Eagles players were fined for various actions in Week 1. Cowboys linebacker Marist Liufau ($7,186) and Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean ($11,593) were fined for facemasks. Meanwhile, Eagles pass rusher Nolan Smith was fined $11,593 for taunting. Eagles cornerback Jakorian Bennett closed out the list with a $23,186 fine for a hip-drop tackle.
