Re damage, the photos (courtesy of Kulverstukas) confirm that the nose gear has been ripped off, suggesting rigid obstructions in the run-off area that may have caused further airframe damage.

Although the CFM engine cowlings look relatively undamaged, the #1 (left-hand) engine's fan-reverser is not fully stowed (it may have been in transit), increasing the probability of ingestion and consequent engine damage. The swathe of mud on the fuselage above the left wing-root fairing may indicate full reverse was still in use (understandably) when the mud was encountered. #2 engine fan-reverser is not visible.
