Broncos release QB Hanie, add Siliga to roster

The Denver Broncos released quarterback Caleb Hanie and signed defensive tackle Sealver Siliga to the active roster, according to the team's web site.

Hanie's release means the Broncos have just two quarterbacks on the roster. That means rookie Brock Osweiler will back up Peyton Manning on Sunday against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers.

Hanie completed 22 of his 39 passes for 246 yards with a touchdown and an interception during the exhibition season.

Siliga moves up from the practice squad after getting six tackles and a sack in the preseason.
