Their nails are definitely long and sharp just not the spursIt could be spurs or nails, check them both and trim if needed. Young cockerels are often clumsy and rough, they haven't figured it all out yet and are operating mostly on raging hormones. He may settle down as he matures. If you can, separate him for a while, let him mature some and give the girls a break from his attention. How many hens do you have? Just the one boy?
If you have a wire crate, then you can put her in that with her own food and water and put it in the coop or run, where she can still see them and they can see her, but she can't be hurt more, and she can heal. That will be less stressful for her, and will make reintegrating her after easier.
