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