Hamlett has been promoted to the Browns' active roster, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
With Randall Telfer (ankle) and Seth DeValve (knee) both injured, the Browns have a clear need for depth at tight end behind starter Gary Barnidge. The team thus promoted Hamlett from the practice squad, perhaps setting him up to appear in an NFL game for the first time. He's still a long ways away from warranting fantasy consideration.
