The Minnesota Vikings released embattled receiver Bernard Berrian on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

Berrian was a healthy scratch Sunday for the second time in three games. He met with coach Leslie Frazier on Monday and said he would be speaking with the coach again Tuesday.

Berrian said he learned he’d be on the sideline when he arrived at the stadium Sunday, and Frazier acknowledged Berrian originally was in the lineup.

“We did it based on some of the things that had happened,” the coach said Monday.

On Monday, Berrian said he still wanted to be with the Vikings, pointing to his willingness to take a pay cut for this season as proof, but he acknowledged he has “no idea” whether he would be kept around. Berrian hasn’t scored a touchdown, excluding the preseason, since Nov. 22, 2009. This year, he has just seven receptions for 91 yards.

Citing Frazier’s request to keep the details private, Berrian on Monday wouldn’t provide any information on the situation or offer much of his feelings about it. He said he’s tried to put the controversies about his playing time, attitude and performance in the past.

“But one way or another, something comes up,” Berrian said.

After a strong first season in Minnesota, his career “just kind of went downhill from there,” he said. Brett Favre arrived in 2009, and Berrian never clicked with his new quarterback.

Berrian said he believes he’s the same player he was in 2008 and that he believes he’s actually faster now.
