I believe the answer is:

scraped

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being damaged?' is the definition.
('scraped' can be similar in meaning to 'damaged')

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for scraped that I've seen before include "Slightly damaged" , "Abraded" , "Grazed; scratched" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
