Screen Locks during calls

Cracked the screen of my Pixel XL. Directly under the top speaker. Phone is still usable entirely, but I believe that the proximity sensor is now either damaged or confused due to the crack in the screen. Almost every time I get a call the screen goes black, and the phone becomes unusable. Most of the time I have to restart the phone. I've tried third party apps to disable the sensor, and can't seem to find the option in settings. Any help would be appreciated.
