The report says they had to turn back shortly after takeoff. Assuming they took off with no damage, at what point would an inboard spoiler have been used in takeoff and climb? Aren't those spoilers ground only (not sure, but I believe that's correct)? If that's correct, my guess is the damage was associated with flap retraction, not spoiler movement.
