## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER LANDING, CREW OBSERVED THE NR 3 REVERSER, UNLOCK  AND PRESSURE, LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED.  MAINTENANCE DISCOVERED THAT THE BLOCKER DOORS AND THE BRACKETS THAT ATTACH THE JACKSCREWS TO THE SLIDING PANEL HAD BECOME DAMAGED/BROKEN POSSIBLY DUE TO OVER TRAVEL OF THE ACTUATING MECHANISM.  THE REVERSER WAS REPLACED AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
