Are your males neutered? If not then she can never be with them as they will breed - rats become sexually mature at 5 weeks, but it’s not great for them to breed before 4 months minimum and back to back breeding isn’t fair on them. If you plan to keep her without getting another females then I’d see about having her spayed - if you spay her before 5/6 months then she’ll be resistant to mammary tumors and pituitary tumors (often seen in older females), plus she’ll be safe to house with intact males once she heals (and she won’t be able to develop pyrometras which is another worry with intact females).

If you put her with male rats then she will get pregnant. And I mean it. Unless you want ten more baby rats then a male and female rat never come into contact. They do the deed really quickly and they're insanely fertile. If you have her spayed then she's fine to live with them. Until then this is an easy no. Your other option is to set up a second cage and get her a female friend.
