I grow pretty much as you do but have never had to cover for as long. I think what I would do is watch them closely and let them grow awhile to see what happens to the damaged heads. If the damage dries and the head continues to grow, i.e. doesn't start to rot, I'd let it grow out to when you would normally cut them off. If they start to rot, cut them off asap, salvage what you can and hope for a heavy round of side shoots. Good luck.
