Wide receiver Bernard Berrian was released from the Minnesota Vikings today. The news comes after Berrian was benched Sunday against Green Bay -- his second healthy scratch of the season. This year, Berrian has caught just seven passes in five games.

Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian was deactivated last week for reportedly missing team meetings, but he is expected to start Sunday night against his former team. Berrian spent the first four years of his career playing for the Bears.

Bernard Berrian's dismal 2010 season in which he finished with only 28-catches was supposed to turn into a bounce back season in 2011. So far that's not the case as Berrian has only one-reception through three games. Who's to blame?

Bernard Berrian, who was deactivated Sunday for the second time in three weeks, met with Leslie Frazier Monday and remains on the team. However, another meeting scheduled for Tuesday is putting his future with the Vikings in doubt.

Coach Leslie Frazier says receiver Bernard Berrian was deactivated as a 'coach's decision' and had nothing to do with his well-publicized Twitter battle with state Rep. John Kriesel. Although he didn't offer specifics, Frazier suggested the decision was a locker room issue.

For the second time this season, Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian was put in the inactive list even though he was healthy. Coach Leslie Frazier wouldn't say why, but he tells the Pioneer Press it'll be something he'll talk about "this week."

Vikings receiver Bernard Berrian called and apologized to Minnesota Representative John Kriesel following a Twitter exchange between the two. Kriesel started the exchange by criticizing Berrian's claims that he's always open. In response, Berrian told Kriesel to 'sit down and shut up.' What Berrian didn't know is that Kriesel is an avid Vikings fan in support of a new stadium. He's also a war veteran that lost both legs in combat.

After practice Wednesday, Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian was pressed for answers as to why he was deactivated last week against Arizona. Berrian refused to shed light on why he was benched and said it was old news and he didn’t want to talk about the past.
