Isaac Alarcón, former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman, faces a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Now with the San Francisco 49ers, Alarcón had been a part of the practice squad in the previous season and has not yet appeared in an official game. His journey began in Monterrey, Mexico, and he initially joined the Cowboys in 2020 through the International Player Pathway Program. Despite limited playing time, he gained some fame from his appearance in the HBO series Hard Knocks in 2021.

After being released by the Cowboys prior to the 2023 season, he was signed by the 49ers. Under the supervision of Coach Kyle Shanahan, Alarcón will participate in offseason activities, but his six-game suspension will commence with the start of the 2025 regular season, contingent upon his making the team's 53-man roster. This development raises questions about his future in the league and the impact of suspensions on players' careers.
