What Happened to Ben Vansumeren? Eagles RB Carted Off After Injury vs Cowboys

The Eagles kicked off their season with more drama than anyone expected. Just six seconds into the game, defensive lineman Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, a shocking moment that left fans stunned and the team scrambling. But the real worry came even earlier.

Ben VanSumeren went down on the very first play with a serious knee injury. He was visibly frustrated, throwing his helmet before being carted off the field. Reports suggest it may be linked to a vaccine-related issue, though details are still emerging.

So Ben VanSumeren hurt his knee on the opening kickoff and then Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott.

Just an absolutely idiotic move by Carter.
