The Patriots will work out a pair of NFL veterans this week. Free-agents T.J. Houshmandzadeh, a wide receiver, and Darren Sharper, a safety, will visit New England. Houshmandzadeh starred alongside Chad Ochocinco in Cincinnati before disappointing runs with Seattle and Baltimore. Sharper has 63 interceptions and 11 touchdowns in his career. He has made five Pro Bowls, but he also had knee surgery in 2010.
