In TCP, if a receiver receives a damaged TCP segment, it simply discards the segment and does not send any acknowledgment or send the segment back to the sender. Instead, it waits for the sender to eventually retransmit the segment. TCP uses a sequence number and acknowledgment mechanism to ensure that all segments are received and acknowledged by the receiver.
