Your tire must have thrown something up that got behind the lip and rolled it back. That's a rigid corner, it didn't peel back like that from the wind. Remove wheel, and rap it back in with a hammer and block of wood.

Road debris = possible damage. You must have missed it visually, but your car didn't! Nothing to be afraid of, just be sure to dodge stuff in the road. Must have been some Ford internal engine parts that got splattered on the road, happens all the time. lol
