The NFL sent a memo to teams this week after a sideline incident involving the 49ers’ linebacker Dre Greenlaw and the Eagles’ head of security, Dom DiSandro.
“Please ensure that all members of your game-day staff understand that their role does not extend to being involved with game day altercations and that they must refrain from such involvement.”
Also notable from the memo in light of Sunday’s brouhaha involving the #Eagles’ head of security Dom DiSandro: “Under no circumstances are club personnel to engage with or make physical contact with another club’s player(s) or other personnel.” https://t.co/DBZHjiL2iC

An already intense game grew chippy after tensions escalated when Greenlaw tackled Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith after the whistle near the Philadelphia sideline.
The late hit drew a 15-yard penalty, and as players from both teams got involved in a mini-scuffle, Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro stepped in between Greenlaw and DeVonta Smith.
💥 Ejection! Dre Greenlaw thrown out for confrontation with Eagles security guy Dom DiSandro…
Big Dom also thrown out of the game after getting in Greenlaw's face

While separating the two, DiSandro touched Greenlaw, who took exception and shoved the Eagles’ security before things simmered down.
Greenlaw and DiSandro were ejected, and San Francisco would win 42-19.
