How long will butler be out...ACL information

Depends on the severity of ACL tear and involvement of other structures. The gold standard for diagnosis of knee joint pathology isn't MRI...it's a scope. But scopes are typically performed in conjunction with a procedure. The Ortho doc scopes the knee, looks around, and fixes things as he goes. It is very possible that Butler also damaged his meniscus or other knee ligaments while tearing his ACL (which was diagnosed by way of MRI and exam). Each has their own rehab time.
