Confused help understanding a MRI

HI i just signed up here. not exactly sure where to look.
My husband was in a car accident at work almost a year ago and we are finally getting answers. we got his MRI results back i have a medical background but not in this area. if someone could help me understand it would be great. here is the conclusion of his lumbar spine MRI

1)there is a mild L4 facet arthrosis with an associated 1cm posteriorly dissecting left facet synovial cyst noted.

2) there is a mild diffuse annular bulge at L5-S1 without nerve root displacement, central canal or foraminal stenosis.

3) there is a 3.2 cephalocaudal by 1.9cm in diameter Tarlov nerve root sleeve cyst or arachnoid cyst in the right side of the central canal begining at the mid body of S1 and extending to the inferior body of S2 nerve root against the bony margins of the central canal.
