The initial tests are not always accurate. Unless things have changed a lot since my knee injuries. They basically test for stability and movement in knee. Since people have loose or tight ligaments there is a lot of grey area. So they always follow up with MRI. However with an MRI sometimes non complete tears get missed also.
My guess they did the initial MRI and didn't see a tear. So they are doing more tests and getting second opinions to make sure they didn't miss anything.
