49ers third-round pick Nick Martin broke his thumb, but won’t need surgery (paywall)
“Martin, the team’s third-round pick, won’t need surgery and is expected to be fully healthy by training camp in July.
After a video surfaced in which star offensive tackle Trent Williams said that Martin had broken his thumb during a workout, many 49ers fans on social media assumed the worst. Martin had missed most of his final season at Oklahoma State with a knee injury that likely affected his drafted stock. Pro Football Focus ranked Martin, an All-Big 12 first-team selection in 2023, as the 307th prospect on its big board.
