The Eagles will face the Cowboys without key personnel, as security chief Dom DiSandro has been banned from the sidelines for the Week 14 showdown.

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.”
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…

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.
