49ers' Dre Greenlaw, Eagles Security Officer Dom DiSandro Apologize After Altercation

Timothy RappDec 6, 2023

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Philadelphia Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro had a dust-up during Sunday's matchup between the teams, but the pair have since "apologized to each other, through intermediaries"—which included Niners' general manager John Lynch—according to Matt Barrows and David Lombardi of The Athletic.

"He seemed like a genuine guy," Greenlaw said. "He seemed like a guy everyone loved in the building. So I hate that it even escalated and went to that."

Both were ejected in the third quarter of San Francisco's 42-19 blowout win over the Eagles. Greenlaw illegally tackled Eagles wideout DeVonta Smith late on the sidelines and was flagged for unnecessary roughness. A scuffle on the sideline ensued.

DiSandro appeared to be trying to break up the hostilities and Greenlaw took exception, taking a swipe toward his face.

"A staff person (DiSandro) that made contact with the player and that the player involved, No. 57 (Greenlaw), made contact with the staff member which warranted his disqualification," NFL senior vice president of officiating Walt Anderson said in the pool report after the game.

Officials deemed that DiSandro "was contributing to that escalation."

As for additional punishment beyond the ejections for the two men, the NFL said Wednesday that "the matter remains under review," per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. They did send out a memo to teams regarding "game day altercations," however:

Neither the Eagles or Niners seem keen on additional punishment for either man.

"Dom is as good as they get in this business," Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters Monday. "I'm so thankful for him. He is always going to try to defuse situations. That's what he does, that's his job. Obviously, unfortunate yesterday. I know in Dom's heart he truly was trying to defuse the situation right there. I am sad it came to what it came to that anybody got thrown out of the game."

Sirianni added that he apologized to San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan after the game. Shanahan has also told reporters twice that he hopes the NFL isn't too harsh in any potential punishment of DiSandro.
