Coming back to OP’s question- I suspect one 680 will negatively impact chances of admission for an unhooked applicant. Perhaps not too much, if other factors are compelling.

As an aside, it would help to do a retake to boost the CR subscore. Do not let someone talk you out of retaking it because you might ‘spoil’ your 800’s by scoring lower in the other two sections. It doesn’t work that way.

ETA: From a prior post, it appears that OP scored 750 in CR. If that is true then he/she doesn’t need to worry. For all practical purposes, 750 and 800 are the same.
