Looks like an interstage non-rotating part came loose and tangled with the blades
Funny you should say that the RB211 does on the odd occasion have a segment of NGV migrate onto the first stage LPT. Shows up as rub marks on the blade platforms sometimes contacting the blade root radius. Allowable in the AMM for 20 landings!
