probably nothing to see here but:
The Patriots hosted free agents Ryan Grant and Tim Hightower Friday, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.Perhaps the Patriots aren't ready to ride with Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen and Danny Woodhead as their primary backs after all. Grant is 29, isn't a receiver out of the backfield and has no speed left, but the Patriots have taken low-risk gambles like this before. Hightower was acting as the Redskins lead back last season before tearing his ACL in Week 7.
