A380 Uncontained Engine Failure

just a guy from detroit here....not a journalist....just a newbie stickin my head in (pardon me please) looking at the photo of the #2 engine with the fire soot marks ahead of the combustion chamber of the engine, is there any possibility that this engine was reverse thrusting in flight? I believe i've seen posts where the #2 is one of the two engines that have reversers on the A380. BTW , the crew and all involved did a helluva job limping her home
