Norman's inactive status Sunday comes as a result of a coaches decision, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Norman was limited during practice this week, while overcoming a concussion, but he was apparently cleared to play prior to kickoff. However, given his lack of practice reps over recent weeks, Norman was deemed inactive, allowing Melvin White to continue to start at cornerback opposite Antoine Cason.
