On 610 they had Dr. Kenneth R. First on a little while ago. He said he took a look at the tweeted MRI, passed it by his radiologist, talked to a couple of other NFL trainers. There are many teams with many ham pulls this preseason.
He said from what he and radiologist sees , my interpretation of what I think I heard, and it would be better to see other views and previous historical MRI's, but this is a low grade class 1 strain indicated. without seeing more it is not class 2 and likely not a tear, but more analysis , who knows for sure. Team would know more.
He said he would double the rehab time from when Arian feels good and MRI clears, so that would be 2-3 weeks most likely. so might be safe to keep out of first real game, but he isn't there and further mri's and foster healing would tell that. especially maybe extend the healing since it is a recurring injury.
He said some teams use local cortizone treatment, he thinks Texans don't , but do a voluntary platelette infusion treatment for faster recovery, not sure if done, ands of course the traditional hot/cold treatment with massage of area.
I would say when I played sports, which means nothing now, except on the pain, I suffered a ham pull or two, it only hurt for me on the instant of the strain, and after that no pain. couldn't run initially but then got better quickly. and back jogging and light workout after one day.
Now, likely someone from Texans is talking to Arian about his tweets I would guess. But, for me, they are entertaining enough. no big deal.
