No texting on the sideline.

Philadelphia Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro found out the hard way.

DiSandro was reportedly fined $75,000 by the NFL for texting from the bench area, according to NFL reporter Derrick Gunn. Even worse, the infraction occurred during Philadelphia’s third preseason game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

The Eagles appealed the fine, but it was denied.

The Eagles didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from USA TODAY Sports.

DiSandro is in his 27th season with the Eagles. He also serves as the team’s senior advisor to the general manager and gameday coaching operations.

DiSandro was previously fined $100,000 and banned during the 2023 season after a sideline incident involving San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw. Greenlaw is now a member of the Denver Broncos.
