Eagles’ Director of Security, Dom DiSandro, will not be permitted on the Philadelphia sideline during Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys due to his involvement in a sideline altercation with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw last Sunday.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Eagles acknowledged an ongoing discussion with the NFL regarding the matter and expressed their commitment to respecting the current restriction. Despite DiSandro’s absence on the sideline, the team assured that he would continue fulfilling his responsibilities in all other capacities.
While DiSandro is allowed to travel with the Eagles to Dallas and carry out his regular duties, he will not be present on the sideline for the game. Following a meeting on Friday between DiSandro, along with other Eagles officials, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at the league office in New York, the league is still reviewing additional material to determine if further disciplinary action is warranted.
The NFL issued a memo to all teams on Wednesday, reminding them to ensure that all members of their game-day staff understand their roles and refrain from involvement in game-day altercations.
In response to the incident, Greenlaw and DiSandro exchanged apologies through intermediaries, with Greenlaw expressing regret for the escalation of the situation. Despite the apology, Greenlaw was fined $10,927 on Saturday for the hit on Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith that triggered the sideline altercation.
