Narrative:

I was informed that damage to medium large transport reverser doors was suspected to have occurred on my flight, bna to dfw, jul/wed/93. The approach, landing, and rollout were normal in all respects and I noticed no abnormal position, vibrations, or sounds. The first officer was flying a visual approach to runway 18R at dfw. With my concurrence, he flew above the descent profile of a widebody transport 5 1/2 mi ahead. The approach was on speed, touchdown was smooth within the landing zone, normal reversing procedure used and manual braking to clear the runway. Approach, landing, taxi- in, and parking uneventful. Entire crew unaware of anything out of the ordinary until after arrival bwi.
