Your TV most likely doesn’t have a bulb…

Also of note, if it’s an older Rear projection CRT, you might just need to readjust your convergance if it’s off slightly as this can cause blurryness.
Typically a bulb won’t cause blurryness, though it can cause discoloration on LCD/DLP projection.
Also you mentioned the protective cover was damaged, did the screen behind it get damaged or shifted noticeably?
