Narrative:
During rollout at slc, neither engine would deploy reversers. After clearing runway 34R, tried to reinitiate reversers without result. Found circuit breakers popped, pulled to both engine reverse system on circuit breaker panel. Prior to departure from dfw, aircraft required inspection due to bird strike on inbound flight. Maintenance was already at the aircraft when we arrived and were doing a preliminary inspection. Parts and feathers were found in the right engine so a more thorough inspection was started. We were late and getting later, communications were never established with maintenance during the inspections, so the captain asked me to go talk to them. I left the cockpit, and was on my way to the right engine area when I passed a mechanic on his way to the cockpit. He said something about needing to inspect more, engine reverse, and going to the cockpit. We both continued the way we were going, and almost immediately I ran into another mechanic who said he was satisfied with the inspection, was going to sign it off as done, and was trying to button up the aircraft. I returned to the flight deck, and prepared to depart to slc. I never inspected the circuit breaker panel prior to taking my seat. I probably should have assumed the mechanic was going to both talk to the captain and inform him of the pulled circuit breakers for the inspection, but I didn't. It's good we didn't have to abort.

Title: ACFT EQUIP PROB. REVERSERS INOP ON LNDG. CIRCUIT BREAKERS LEFT OUT AFTER MAINT PROC.
Narrative: DURING ROLLOUT AT SLC, NEITHER ENG WOULD DEPLOY REVERSERS. AFTER CLRING RWY 34R, TRIED TO REINITIATE REVERSERS WITHOUT RESULT. FOUND CIRCUIT BREAKERS POPPED, PULLED TO BOTH ENG REVERSE SYS ON CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL. PRIOR TO DEP FROM DFW, ACFT REQUIRED INSPECTION DUE TO BIRD STRIKE ON INBOUND FLT. MAINT WAS ALREADY AT THE ACFT WHEN WE ARRIVED AND WERE DOING A PRELIMINARY INSPECTION. PARTS AND FEATHERS WERE FOUND IN THE R ENG SO A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION WAS STARTED. WE WERE LATE AND GETTING LATER, COMS WERE NEVER ESTABLISHED WITH MAINT DURING THE INSPECTIONS, SO THE CAPT ASKED ME TO GO TALK TO THEM. I LEFT THE COCKPIT, AND WAS ON MY WAY TO THE R ENG AREA WHEN I PASSED A MECH ON HIS WAY TO THE COCKPIT. HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT NEEDING TO INSPECT MORE, ENG REVERSE, AND GOING TO THE COCKPIT. WE BOTH CONTINUED THE WAY WE WERE GOING, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I RAN INTO ANOTHER MECH WHO SAID HE WAS SATISFIED WITH THE INSPECTION, WAS GOING TO SIGN IT OFF AS DONE, AND WAS TRYING TO BUTTON UP THE ACFT. I RETURNED TO THE FLT DECK, AND PREPARED TO DEPART TO SLC. I NEVER INSPECTED THE CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL PRIOR TO TAKING MY SEAT. I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE ASSUMED THE MECH WAS GOING TO BOTH TALK TO THE CAPT AND INFORM HIM OF THE PULLED CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR THE INSPECTION, BUT I DIDN'T. IT'S GOOD WE DIDN'T HAVE TO ABORT.
