The NFL has upheld its punishment for Philadelphia Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro’s sideline altercation with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw.

DiSandro and Greenlaw were both ejected from a Dec. 3 game, and DiSandro’s appeal of a $100,000 fine and a ban from the sideline for the rest of the regular season was denied, sources told The Associated Press Friday. The Eagles have paid the fine, according to the AP.

DiSandro, known as "Big Dom," will still be allowed to travel with the team and perform other work-related duties. 

The Eagles have already clinched a postseason spot, and DiSandro will be permitted on the sidelines for playoff games.

The incident started after DiSandro pulled Greenlaw off Eagles star receiver DeVonta Smith and shouted at him after a reception in the third quarter of Philadelphia’s 42-19 loss to the 49ers Dec. 3. Greenlaw, who was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play, popped up and reached over two officials, reaching his hand in DiSandro’s face.
