Head coach Nick Sirianni and director of gameday coaching operations Dom DiSandro of the Philadelphia Eagles look on against the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field on November 14, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • DiSandro was cited for texting during the Aug. 22 preseason game against the Jets while positioned in the Eagles’ bench area.
  • Philadelphia argued on appeal that he was not fully inside the restricted zone, but the NFL ruled that one foot met the threshold for a violation.
  • The penalty was first reported by local reporter Derrick Gunn and was confirmed by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
  • DiSandro previously drew a $100,000 fine and a regular-season sideline ban in 2023 after a confrontation with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
  • The Eagles expanded his responsibilities in 2024 to include director of gameday coaching operations, formalizing his prominent sideline role.
