The NFL is reportedly looking into Dom DiSandro, the Philadelphia Eagles’ senior advisor to the general manager, director of game day coaching operations and chief security officer.
Derrick Gunn, a longtime Eagles insider, reported that the league is still investigating DiSandro, who’s widely known as “Big Dom,” after comments made earlier this offseason by former pass rusher Emmanuel Acho.
“The NFL is still investigating Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro based on comments made by Emmanuel Acho on his Speakeasy Podcast back in early August … Acho who played for 3 NFL teams never mentioned a name. But it has been widely speculated he was referring to Big Dom,” Gunn reported before night one of the 2026 NFL regular season on Wednesday, September 9.
The league has not publicly said anything about an investigation involving DiSandro.
Acho discussed the situation on his “SpeakEasy” podcast earlier this summer, describing an incident from his playing days in which he was driving, got into a collision and team security stepped in.
“I’m playing for a team, I can’t say what team,” Acho reportedly said on his Speakeasy Podcast. “I played for three so, at least you all can’t know exactly which one.”
Acho said he rear-ended another driver on the way to practice and then contacted one of the team’s security personnel. “When the cop shows up, send the cop away.
I’m going to send you another cop. And that other cop is going to say it wasn’t your fault.
It was their fault,” he said.
Acho is 35 and played for the Browns, Eagles and Giants during his NFL career.

A.J. Browns Patriots Debut Created An Eagles Concern Nobody Wanted
A.J. Browns first game in New England quickly turned into something the Patriots and the Eagles would both have preferred to avoid. Brown caught three passes for 26 yards before leaving the Patriots 13-10 loss in Seattle with an injury, a development that immediately shifted attention from Drake Mayes uneven outing to the bigger concern surrounding Browns status.
Maye finished 23 of 33 for 178 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions, including a costly late pick, but Browns health may end up carrying even more weight as the Patriots head into a tough stretch against Pittsburgh, Jacksonville and Buffalo. Brown was later seen in a walking boot, an image nobody around either sideline wanted to process so soon after his debut. [Read more 🡒]
A.J. Browns Patriots Debut Brought Back A Familiar Eagles Concern
A.J. Browns first game with the New England Patriots gave Philadelphia fans an immediate reminder of why his departure came with so much built-in drama. Brown was on the field for the season opener, but he left in the third quarter with an ankle injury, and his day ended without much production beyond three catches for 26 yards. He was also held without a completion on throws of 10 or more air yards, a quiet debut for a player whose impact usually shows up much earlier and much louder.
For Eagles observers, the more familiar part of the story was not the stat line so much as the concern around his availability. Brown dealt with injuries at different points during his time in Philadelphia, and the latest issue only adds to the questions about how often he can stay on the field going forward. Even in a new uniform, the same old durability conversation seems to be following him. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Suddenly Have A Reason To Watch Two AFC Injury Situations
A.J. Brown's first season away from Philadelphia has already started to intersect with two injury situations the Eagles have every reason to follow closely. The former Eagles wide receiver was hurt in the Patriots' game against Seattle, and the early word is only that the ankle injury's severity is still unclear. For a team that knows Brown's value as well as anyone, any update matters, even if the injury is happening far from the NFC East.
Seattle's quarterback situation adds another layer of interest for Philadelphia observers. Sam Darnold left with a hip injury and Drew Lock had to finish the game, which naturally raises questions about where the Seahawks turn next if the issue lingers. Any quarterback ripple in Seattle can end up touching the Eagles' world, whether through future roster movement or because it keeps names like Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee in the conversation in a way few would have expected just a week ago.
