TE Asante Cleveland promoted from Patriots' practice squad

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots informed tight end Asante Cleveland that he is being promoted from the practice squad, a move that adds another pass-catching option as the offense faces a shortage at receiver.

Also, with No. 2 tight end Michael Williams limited with a knee injury, Cleveland provides another layer of insurance alongside Rob Gronkowski, Williams and Scott Chandler.
