EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings waived cornerback Bashaud Breeland on Saturday afternoon, the team announced.
Breeland, 29, appeared in 13 games with the Vikings after signing a one-year, $3 million deal with Minnesota as a free agent during the offseason. Hours before he was released, the cornerback showed up on the injury report for the first time this week for non-football injury reasons and was listed as questionable for the Vikings' game Monday night at Chicago.
According to a source, Breeland was involved in a verbal altercation with coaches and teammates during Saturday's practice that ultimately led to his release.
