Ravens tight end Todd Heap was injured on a a helmet-to-helmet hit by Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather midway through the second quarter of Sunday's Baltimore-New England game.

Meriweather speared his body into Heap, leading with his head. Earlier, Meriweather tried to land a similar blow on Heap as Heap reeled in a touchdown catch, but missed because Heap was low to the ground.

Heap lay motionless for a couple of minutes after the helmet-to-helmet hit before he walked off the field. He was originally listed as questionable to return with a shoulder injury, but came back onto the field late in the second quarter.
