A production representation of partial-wave S matrix is utilized to construct low-energy elastic pion-nucleon scattering amplitudes from cuts and poles on complex Riemann sheets. Among them, the contribution of left-hand cuts is estimated using the results obtained in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory within the extended-on-nass-shell scheme. By fitting to data on partial-wave phase shifts, it is indicated that the existences of hidden poles in S11 and P11 channels, as conjectured in our previous paper [Eur. Phys. J. C, 78(7): 543 (2018)], are firmly established. Specifically, the pole mass of the S11 hidden resonance is determined to be (895±81)−(164±23)i MeV, whereas, the virtual pole in the P11 channel locates at (966±18) MeV. It is found that analyses at the level improves significantly the fit quality, comparing with the previous one. Quantitative studies with cautious physical discussions are also conducted for the other S- and P-wave channels.
