Carolina brought in an old but familiar face to replace Jaycee Horn, who is going to have surgery for a broken wrist Tuesday. He is uncertain about his availability for the game.

In order to win the division, the Carolina Hurricanes need to win their final two games against the Buccaneers and Saints.

It will not be known until after Horn's surgery if he will be able to return or not.

He can go play if the surgery goes well and they can club it up. We have to wait and see what the doctors and trainers tell us.

C.J. Henderson will be looked at first if Horn cannot play. He wouldn't expect Norman to start immediately.

The team brought in Norman for his experience, as well as the fact that he has the same genes as two other players who joined the team in their 30's.

He has been in this league for a while. He brings experience to the table. I feel like he has some kind of genetic material. I wanted him to play for me. He understands the culture that we're trying to create and the element of play that we're looking for.

He's in good shape to play for us this week.

After starting 14 games for the San Francisco 49ers, Norman hasn't played since.

He was selected to the first team of the All- Pro in 2015. He signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the Washington Commanders, making him the highest paid corner in the history of the National Football League.

Horn broke his wrist in the fourth quarter of the game. He leads Carolina with three picks, and he would have matched up with Evans on Sunday.

Norman and Evans have matched up before. He likes the intangibles that the South Carolina native brings to the table.

He's going to be a great example for some of the younger guys. "He fits right into the mold that we had in the past, like RomanHarper and PeanutTillman.''
