Video: 49ers' Dre Greenlaw Fined for Body-Slam Tackle Before Dom DiSandro Incident

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been fined $10,927 for body-slamming Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith in last weekend's 42-19 win at Lincoln Financial Field, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The incident occurred prior to Greenlaw's scuffle with Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro.

During the third quarter of last weekend's matchup between the Eagles and 49ers, Greenlaw hauled down Smith and was flagged for unnecessary roughness near the sideline where DiSandro was standing.

DiSandro then appeared to separate the two players, putting his hands on Greenlaw in the process. Greenlaw then reached over and punched DiSandro, leading to an ejection. DiSandro was also asked to leave the field following the incident.

DiSandro was hired to protect off the field, meaning he shouldn't have gotten involved with the players. He is now barred from being on Philadelphia's sideline for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

As a result of the altercation, the NFL sent a memo to all teams earlier this week emphasizing that all game-day staff need to "understand that their role does not extend to being involved with game day altercations and that they must refrain from such involvement," per Pelissero.

Greenlaw, 26, was a fifth-round pick of the 49ers in 2019. Through 11 games this season, he has posted 1.5 sacks, four pass breakups, 86 tackles, five tackles for loss and four quarterback hits.

Smith was a first-round pick of the Eagles in 2021. The 25-year-old has caught 64 passes for 834 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games this season.

While the Eagles and 49ers will not meet again during the regular season, a playoff matchup between the two sides could get quite testy, especially after Philadelphia defeated San Francisco in the NFC title game last season.
