has joined the New York Giants' practice squad, the team announced on Wednesday.
Norwood has been out of the NFL since being released off the San Diego Chargers' practice squad on Nov. 1.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported the Giants signed Norwood as an "insurance policy in case Victor Cruz can't go." Cruz has a sprained ankle and has said there's a chance he'll miss Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Giants have five other wide receivers on their active roster, and Norwood became the third wide receiver on New York's practice squad.
