Overview

  • The fine was reported Sunday by longtime Eagles reporter Derrick Gunn, who cited a league source.
  • The Eagles appealed the decision, but the league denied it, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
  • Team officials argued in the appeal that DiSandro had only one foot in the bench area while on his phone.
  • The texting occurred during Philadelphia’s 2025 preseason game against the New York Jets.
  • DiSandro, the Eagles’ head of security and a senior adviser, previously faced discipline after a 2023 altercation with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw, and the team later broadened his game-day responsibilities.
