The 49ers will be without practice squad tackle Isaac Alarcon for the first six games of the 2025 season after he was suspended for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs policy, the league announced Wednesday.
Alarcon joined the 49ers last offseason on a reserve/future contract after spending four years with the Cowboys via the NFL’s international player pathway program. He saw some action in the preseason, then spent the whole regular season on the practice squad and re-signed with the Niners on a reserve deal in January.
The 26-year-old native of Monterrey, Mexico played collegiately in Mexico, winning the national title with Tecnológico de Monterrey.
The 49ers’ last tie to such a suspension was last summer when free agent safety Tashaun Gipson, who had played for the 49ers the two prior years, faced a PED suspension of six games. Gipson re-signed with the 49ers in November after serving his suspension and playing a stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is a free agent this offseason.
