49ers select Nick Martin-LB-Oklahoma State with the 75th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

BRAIN DEAD!!

If he is still in Concussion protocol, he might need to be committed to a Mental Asylum.

Yeah, especially when the position he plays is decimated to the point you are playing your 5th, 6th, and 7th LBs and your rookie 3rd round pick is STILL not playing

You're aware he's on IR right? I think he may be eligible to come back this week and I hope he does.

Wallow, Kendricks and Martin.

He is now eligible to return.

This staff won't play him. Why do they draft guys to let them rot.

Wallow and Kendricks played a blinder, particularly in the 2nd half. Not sure what the problem is. They draft guys to see if they can make the jump. And, for the most part, to give them the time to do so. A rookie, and on IR. Sometimes I wonder about some of you.

Just put him in a padded room with Ricky.

FIFY

Damn, this is permanent brain damage at this point. I really hope not he's too young. Never heard of a current player in the protocol that long.

Me either this sounds serious.

Sounds like an injury designation to keep him on IR. Never heard of someone in protocol this long

You can't keep someone in the protocol without them actually being hurt, like another injury. If he's healthy, they'd say so, like they have with other players who were on IR but just didn't have a spot open.

This sounds really bad. Worried about his future.

Jim Harbaugh used to do this all the time, even drafted injured guys to stash them on IR when our roster was stacked.
