Patriots' Aiken, Springs injured in wild-card game

Jan 10, 2010 - 8:56 PM FOXBOROUGH, Mass.(AP) -- New England lost cornerback Shawn Springs in the first half of Sunday's wild-card playoff game against Baltimore with a head injury.

Springs joined the Patriots as a free agent this season and started eight games, playing in 12 overall. He missed four games in the middle of the season with a knee injury.

Wide receiver Sam Aiken left in the fourth quarter after a hard hit on an incompletion. He walked slowly off the field after being on the ground for several minutes. The Patriots said Aiken had a head injury and would not return.
