The Patriots are scheduled to host free-agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh for a workout tomorrow, a source confirms.At 6-foot-2, 203 pounds, he has totaled 616 career receptions for 7,091 yards and 43 touchdowns. His 30 catches last year were his lowest total since his rookie season (not including his injury-shortened 2003 campaign).
The depth has been thinned a bit on the practice field of late, with Brandon Tate, Julian Edelman and Taylor Price -- top contenders for backup spots behind Chad Ochocinco, Wes Welker and Deion Branch -- all sidelined.
Houshmandzadeh would likely project to more of a slot role with the club, and that's where Welker does his best work. Edelman is Welker's backup.
