no, def don't put the cracked bulb back in. You also need to find out why they cracked. Was it from water spray? If so maybe you need to raise your fixture.
But don't put the cracked one back in, as the glass is a UV shield, and if it cracks more and shards of glass go into your tank (which is another problem), your fish and corals will get scorched!
