Josh Norman Fantasy Stats

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks said that cornerback Josh Norman will be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 17 tilt against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 35-year-old veteran just was signed to Carolina's practice squad on Monday and will make his 2022 season debut in a big-time divisional clash against Tom Brady and Company. Norman played the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Panthers after being a fifth-round pick in 2012. Carolina will be hoping the veteran can pick up slack in the team's secondary after corner Jaycee Horn (wrist) underwent season-ending wrist surgery. The Panthers will certainly be tested against a pass-happy Bucs offense.

San Francisco 49ers defensive back Josh Norman (ribs) is dealing with fractured ribs. He is trying to play through it and could be limited in practice this week. The 33-year-old is considered day-to-day and questionable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Norman has racked up 28 tackles (21 solos), one interception, and four forced fumbles in five games for San Francisco this year. Dontae Johnson would see an uptick in snaps if Norman were to miss any games.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Josh Norman (lungs) is dealing with two bruised lungs and tissue damage that may have caused some internal bleeding, according to sources. Norman is undergoing more tests on Monday after getting injured in the Sunday night loss to the Green Bay Packers. Doctors will be cautious, but he is in good spirits and is hoping to play in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. Jason Verrett is already out for the year, and K'Waun Williams (calf) was also injured on Sunday night, so the 49ers secondary is thinning out considerably. Packers top receiver Davante Adams certainly took advantage in Week 3, and the Seahawks and their top receiving duo of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett could do the same in Week 4.

San Francisco 49ers defensive back Josh Norman (chest) was taken to the hospital Sunday night after exiting the first half of Week 3's 30-28 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He was spitting up blood and ruled out for the rest of the game. The hospital stay was precautionary and all tests came back negative. Norman is considered day-to-day. The 33-year-old was in a rotation and racked up three tackles and forced fumble over two games in 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.

San Francisco 49ers veteran cornerback Josh Norman, who signed with the team less than two weeks ago, is expected to start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, according to a source. The 33-year-old former shutdown corner played in nine games with the Buffalo Bills last season, but eventually he became more of a depth player in Buffalo's secondary late in the year. The Niners are struggling at cornerback with Emmanuel Moseley (knee) out this weekend and with the oft-injured Jason Verrett already on Injured Reserve. The 49ers defense/special teams was a popular fantasy pick because of their strong defensive line, but they could be vulnerable through the air on Sunday against Philly.

The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent defensive back Josh Norman to a one-year, $2.5 million contract on Sunday. The former Pro Bowler was limited to nine games as he dealt with a hamstring injury and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list last season. He racked up 24 tackles (21 solo), one interception, two fumble recoveries and a touchdown in 2020. Norman is a solid option and bolsters the 49ers secondary, but he is no longer the shutdown corner he once was, making him more of a depth signing. The 49ers defense is projected to be a top-10 scoring fantasy defense and is a must-start against a woeful Detroit Lions offense in Week 1.

The Buffalo Bills activated cornerback Josh Norman from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Norman has missed time with a hamstring injury and from being on the COVID-19 list and has managed to play in just three games this year in his first season in Buffalo. The veteran cornerback hasn't played since Week 6 against Kansas City. The former Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro is more of a depth piece in Buffalo's secondary at this point in his career and is no longer the shutdown corner that he was with Carolina. Tre'Davious White and Levi Wallace are the team's starting corners on the outside. Buffalo's defense will be a fringe starting unit in 14-team leagues in Week 12 against the Chargers.

Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) was ruled out for the Week 1 season opener against the Jets. Defensive tackle Vernon Butler (hamstring) has been listed as questionable. Norman is hoping to be a veteran presence for Buffalo's strong defense in 2020, but he'll be on the sidelines for the first game. Expect Levi Wallace to start opposite of All-Pro Tre'Davious White. Norman, 32, was benched late in the year in his final season in Washington and isn't the shutdown corner he was earlier in his career. Despite his absence, the Bills Defense is a top-five fantasy play this weekend in their divisional matchup with the Jets and quarterback Sam Darnold.

Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) doesn't have a timetable to return to practice after suffering a left hamstring injury last week, according to head coach Sean McDermott. The aging former Pro Bowler isn't off to a good start with his new team after spending the past few seasons in Washington. Norman's play really declined late last year in D.C., prompting the team to bench him down the stretch. The 32-year-old is no longer an elite shutdown corner, but he'll bring veteran experience to Buffalo's secondary. If Norman isn't ready for Week 1, Levi Wallace could fill in as a starter on the outside.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) injured his hamstring in practice on Thursday, and the severity of the injury is unknown at this point. Defensive tackle Ed Oliver returned to practice on Friday with limitations. Norman, a former All-Pro cornerback with the Panthers, really struggled in his final season in Washington and was eventually benched. While the 32-year-old is no longer a shutdown corner in the NFL, his main role with Buffalo's stacked defense will be to provide veteran leadership in the secondary. Buffalo's defense will be coveted by many in fantasy, but you can ignore Norman in IDP leagues.
