OFFICIAL NEWS: Philadelphia Eagles HC is suspended for 3games because of…
Following his ejection from a game earlier this month due to an altercation with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw, Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro has been barred by the NFL from being on the sidelines for the balance of the regular season, two people familiar with the league’s decision told The Associated Press on Saturday.
According to one of the persons, DiSandro is not allowed on the sidelines but is still able to travel with the club to Seattle for its Monday night game and carry out all other work-related responsibilities. Because the league hasn’t made its judgment public, both individuals, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, claimed DiSandro can rejoin the sidelines for the postseason.
During a reception by Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith in the third quarter of Philadelphia’s 42-19 loss to San Francisco on December 3, DiSandro grabbed Greenlaw off of him and yelled at him. After receiving a penalty for needless roughness during the play, Greenlaw suddenly reached over two referees to put his hand in DiSandro’s face.
Reiterating a guideline that prohibits non-player staff from initiating physical contact, insulting, or directing comments towards rival players or officials, the NFL sent a memo to teams last week. Only coaches or game officials should attempt to break up altercations, according to the statement. According to the league, infractions could result in penalties or suspensions.
DiSandro was not permitted to watch the Eagle Rogers’ game against Dallas on Sunday night from the sidelines after meeting with NFL Commissioner Goodell last week. From the tube, he saw the game.
In addition to being a senior consultant to general manager Howie Roseman, DiSandro joined the Eagles in 1999. DiSandro, 45, is a robust man who likes to keep a low profile but is frequently in front of TV cameras. He is in charge of all player, coach, and executive safety and security issues. In addition, he oversees security at the team’s training facility, manages security protocols for team travel and operations, and conducts training sessions on the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
