The Buffalo Sabres centre will play his first game since the season opener on Monday when his team hosts the Winnipeg Jets, the team announced.
Norris suffered an upper-body injury in Buffalo’s opener on Oct. 9 against the New York Rangers.
He centred Buffalo’s top line with Tage Thompson and Zach Benson during the morning skate.
Acquired from the Ottawa Senators in a multi-player deal that saw Dylan Cozens go the other way last season, Norris has continued to be injury-prone during his time in Buffalo.
Norris played just three games for the Sabres last season after the trade.
A first-round pick by the San Jose Sharks (19th overall) in 2017, Norris has 91 goals and 67 assists for 158 points in 240 career NHL games.
