SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – Jonathan Martin has returned to practice for the San Francisco 49ers after missing a few weeks because of a bout of mononucleosis.
Martin joined his new team Monday for the first time for organized team activities.
Martin lost about 12 pounds because of the viral infection and spent last week trying to regain his strength. Martin spent most of his time Tuesday working as a backup right tackle. He is also seeing time at left tackle and could get a look at guard.
Martin was traded from the Dolphins to the Niners in mid-March, providing him with a new start after his departure from Miami last October. He accused teammate Richie Incognito of bullying in a scandal that overshadowed the franchise’s 8-8 season.
