The NFL fined the Philadelphia Eagles $75,000 because team official Dom DiSandro used his cellphone in a prohibited area during a preseason game on Aug. 22, two people with knowledge of the punishment told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Both people, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league hasn鈥檛 disclosed the fine, said an appeal was denied. The NFL declined comment.
DiSandro, affectionately known as 鈥淏ig Dom鈥 throughout Philadelphia and across the NFL, is the senior adviser to general manager Howie Roseman, chief security officer and gameday coaching operations executive.

Use of cellphones and smart watches are not permitted in the locker room, coaches鈥 booth and team bench areas. DiSandro was spotted using his cellphone inside the bench area, both people said.
In 2023, the league fined the Eagles $100,000 and banned DiSandro from the sideline for the remainder of the regular season after he was with Dre Greenlaw during a game against San Francisco on Dec. 3.
NFL reporter Derrick Gunn was the first to report the recent fine.
