49ers' Dre Greenlaw, Eagles security head exchange apologies - ESPN

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Three days after the sideline dustup that resulted in the ejection of San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and the Philadelphia Eagles' head of security, Dom DiSandro, both sides appear ready to move on.

Speaking to media for the first time since he was ejected for his hand contacting DiSandro's face during Sunday's 43-19 win, Greenlaw said he and DiSandro had exchanged apologies via intermediaries.

Seemed like a guy that everybody loved in the building. So, I hate that, honestly. I really hate that it even escalated and went to that.»

On Monday, the league office told ESPN that it would review the sideline incident between Greenlaw and DiSandro. Greenlaw and Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday they had not heard from the NFL and were expecting no further discipline for Greenlaw beyond the 15-yard penalty and ejection he received Sunday. The matter remains under review by the league office, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday, and there is expected to be a follow-up with the Eagles this week.

The NFL sent a memo to all teams Wednesday afternoon reminding them to «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.»

The incident in question took place about 5½ minutes into the third quarter, when Greenlaw tackled Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith near the Philadelphia sideline after a 13-yard completion. Greenlaw lifted Smith off
