Well not likely with: Not likely with your scenario. But a bruise seems much more likely. See how the digit feels if issue persists then to the doctor you go for exam

Hardly: Unless you broke the glass I don't think you pushed it that hard. May have sprained the finger. Immobilize it by lightly taping it to the next finger and it should feel better in a week or 10 days.
