The 6-foot-3, 330-pound Brace, from Boston College, was the 40th overall selection in the 2009 draft. He could provide insurance if the Patriots are unable to re-sign nose tackle Vince Wilfork, whose contract expires after the upcoming season.
More pro football: Roethlisberger says he'll fight rape allegations
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger vowed to fight a Lake Tahoe casino hostess' rape allegations against him, calling them "false and vicious."
Roethlisberger was served with a civil lawsuit last weekend when he returned to Lake Tahoe, where a 31-year-old Nevada woman alleges the quarterback raped her in a hotel penthouse in July 2008. Roethlisberger was in Nevada on both occasions to compete in a celebrity golf event.
The woman did not file a criminal complaint.
"Saturday was the first I heard of her accusations," Roethlisberger said. "Her false and vicious allegations are an attack on my family and on me. I would never, ever force myself on a woman."

Names: NY Post states ESPN outed own reporter in nude video
The New York Post defended its publication of photos from an illicitly filmed Internet video showing ESPN reporter Erin Andrews naked in a hotel room by accusing the sports network of having outed her. ESPN said it was banning Post reporters from appearing on the company's programs because the newspaper published three photos from the video.
"No one would have known that a sick voyeur had secretly videotaped ESPN reporter Erin Andrews nude in her hotel room, if the Mickey Mouse sports network hadn't sent a letter to an obscure Web site demanding that it take down its link to a fuzzy video of an unidentified blonde," the Post said in its popular "Page 6" column.
