It's a very long time since I was involved with MD-80, but schematic 78-30-1 shows no RA input to reversers. I don't see anything on the schematic that would prevent reverser deployment in flight. Air/ground sensing is used to isolate the reverser accumulators from main hydraulics but does not seem to prevent deployment using the accumulators. My schematics date back to 1981 and there could have been changes since then so I'll defer to those with time on type.
