Hip flexor strains range from grade 1 to grade 3 and are classified as follows:
Grade 1 Tear: a small number of fibres are torn resulting in some pain, but allowing full function. (This is probably what Flowers grade is)
Grade 2 Tear: a significant number of fibres are torn with
moderate loss of function.
Grade 3 Tear: all muscle fibres are ruptured resulting in major loss of function.
With appropriate management, patients with a minor hip flexor strain can usually recover in one to three weeks.
Hip flexor injuries have a tendency to become chronic. This is because the rehabilitation often fails to address the underlying causes of the injury.
with Flowers day to day, and the lingering threat that this could comeback during the season, I think it makes sense to sign Jake Long (If the Giants deem that he is fully recovered from his injury) and if he is not asking the moon.

Better to be safe than sorry and I'm still scratching my head as to how JR let this Line get into the situation it is in!
Put me in the camp our injuries are not coincidence/bad luck
Forget thecurrent injury - w the guy doing twice as much work when can we expect him to hit the wall? Week 6?
Thomas as the insider is still one of the more laughable things on BBI - and it rears its head here too.
'that said' it is not out of the question that this O line ends up better than last years, so that could be fun.
meanwhile, it is not out of the question that Pugh is better at left tackle this year than he was at right tackle last year, left is his historic position, and he seems more prepared and healthy this year, something we debated here prior.

I saw the report that he tried to play through it. Did I miss that Coughlin told him to? Or that Coughlin put him through two a days knowing that he had it? I didn't see any article that suggested that. That's why I assumed Bill was joking.

Nothing in the quotes I saw indicated that the Giants knew of it. Flower knew he was sore, but I didn't see anything that pointed toward the Giants knowing about it until yesterday.
A: He doesn’t seem to be bad. It’s a hip flexor issue. This morning he was sore, but by the time I caught him in the meeting room, he was doing this [stretches leg]. Hopefully, it’s just a short amount of time.
Q: Is it something that happened during the practice yesterday?
A: No, a couple of days ago.
Q: So he played through it for a little bit?
A: He tried to, yeah.
This was all TC said. I don't if there were any other reports with different quotes from TC but this is from the regularly scheduled transcript

If Flowers had failed to notify the coaches or trainers, my apologies to TC
What grade is he?
(yeah, I know they are not going to tell us).
What grade is he?
I think he made it through at least a couple of years of college
