MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings are apparently still looking for wide receivers.

The Vikings cut 20 players Saturday, including five wide receivers to leave them with just four players at that position for the time being. Recently signed Javon Walker and training camp standout Logan Payne were waived, with Taye Biddle, Freddie Brown and Marquis Hamilton also let go.

With Sidney Rice already on the physically unable to perform list for at least the first six weeks of the regular season and Percy Harvin’s migraine headaches proving to be an unpredictable problem, the Vikings are in flux with their passing game. Harvin, Bernard Berrian, Greg Camarillo and Greg Lewis were the only wide receivers on the active 53-man roster released by the team Saturday.
