Dom DiSandro made his political leanings impossible to miss this week.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ chief security officer stepped onto the stage at a Philadelphia Democratic Party convention on Monday, putting himself in the public eye far outside the usual bounds of his Eagles duties. He stood with the Philadelphia mayor and the city’s democratic delegation and made it clear where he fits politically.
DiSandro, better known around the team as “Big Dom,” has long been a highly visible presence inside the organization. Officially, he serves as Senior Advisor to the General Manager, Chief Security Officer, and Director of Gameday Coaching Operations.
That combination gives him a role that reaches well beyond standard NFL security work, from player and coach safety to travel logistics and protection. Wherever Nick Sirianni goes, Big Dom is right there leading the way.
On Monday, though, the spotlight shifted from football to politics. In front of the crowd, DiSandro said the 2-3 Eagles would get it together. Jacob Fuller of Rolling Stone captured the moment on X with the line, “Big Dom on stage promising Eagles will be fixed,”
The move was notable because DiSandro has kept his personal life and political beliefs private for his entire 28-year career with the Eagles. Now, at least for this week, he has stepped out publicly as a Democrat and into a very different kind of arena.
It is not publicly known how long he has been a registered Democrat or how long he has held these views. But with the midterms approaching, he made his position plain.

Eagles Backfield Injuries Just Put An Unknown RB In The Spotlight
The Eagles are shuffling the backfield again, and the latest move brings JaQuinden Jackson into the mix as the team tries to patch together depth at running back. Jackson, a former Arkansas standout who also spent time with the Jaguars, is joining Philadelphias practice squad with the hope that he can help stabilize an offense suddenly dealing with injuries at the position.
The timing matters because the Eagles have already been forced to adjust after setbacks to Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley. For a player still waiting for his first NFL action, this is the kind of opening that can turn a practice-squad call-up into something bigger quickly, especially with the season moving into a stretch where every healthy body counts.

Eagles Fans May Not Like Why Hurts Keeps Running Less
Jalen Hurts has been running less in the early part of the 2026 season, and for Eagles fans who have grown used to the quarterback being a major part of the ground game, it has been noticeable. Through five games, Hurts has 23 carries for 107 yards, while Philadelphias offense as a whole is putting up fewer rushing yards per game than it did a year ago, a shift that has changed the feel of an attack built in part on Hurts legs.
Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion said the team is still trying to keep the offense balanced between run and pass, but the way Hurts is used in the run game depends on the opponent and the game situation. The bigger question for Philadelphia is whether this is a temporary adjustment or the new normal, because the Eagles have clearly been willing to lean away from one of their most familiar edges when the weekly plan calls for it.

Eagles Late Play Call Is Drawing Heat For One Brutal Reason
With the final minute slipping away in the Eagles Week 5 loss to the Jaguars, one late play call quickly became the kind of decision fans replay over and over. On second down with 17 seconds left, Philadelphia threw an out route to Makai Lemon, a choice that stood out because it came in a spot where every yard and every second mattered.
Sean Mannion later said the idea was to attack a cover-zero look and squeeze out better field-goal positioning, a rationale that at least explains why the staff wanted one more snap. The problem is the call ended up helping turn what had been a longer kick into a 48-yard attempt while still leaving time on the clock, a detail that made the sequence look far costlier in hindsight.
