What probably fell out was convertor material, It is a somewhat common thing here lately that the rear cat comes apart and gets in the EGR making it stick and throw a code.

They tend to get clogged by broken off particals from the catalytic converters.. Check them cats

You can run a resistor and delete it entirely but I would only recommend that if you plan to get tuned. Of course if you plan to get tuned you can always have the EGR codes deleted.
