Hello
Your timing of MRI is correct, cannot comment on the findings without seeing the films
Regarding surgery you have to take decision based on your complaints. If you have instability and want to continue your sport then better to get a surgery or you can wait and watch, do rehab and get assessed later to check for instability, as it is not an emergency surgery.
My suggestion for a competitive athlete like you with a near total ACL tear and instability definitely need a surgery for quick return to sport, better function and to further prevent complications associated with ACL tear.
Graft options are quadriceps autograft is better for high demand individuals like you.
