DallasBack from suspension
Norris has served his one match suspension and will be an option for Wednesday's clash against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Norris is set to rejoin the starting XI after missing the Austin match due to suspension. The defender is an undisputed starter for his team, having started 13 of his 15 MLS appearances this season while recording 24 tackles, 23 interceptions and 80 clearances.
Heading for ban
Norris is set to serve a one match suspension and will miss the trip to Austin on Aug 16.
Analysis: Norris will serve his first suspension of the season due to yellow card accumulation. He had started eight of the last nine MLS matches, scoring once and tallying 54 clearances in that stretch. In his absence, Lalas Abubakar stands out as the leading candidate to step into the lineup, assuming he's fully fit.
Logs six interceptions in win
Norris registered three tackles (two won), five clearances and six interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 win over New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Norris served as a key member of his team's defense, leading the squad in interceptions and clearances during this game. Having played the full 90 minutes in four of the last five league matches, the youngster is now settled in the left-sided spot of a back three. In addition to the goal he scored in the previous clash against Seattle, he has recorded multiple tackles, clearances and interceptions in four consecutive starts.
Scores in 2-1 defeat
Norris scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Seattle Sounders FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th minute.
Analysis: Norris scored in the 40th minute to bring the game back to 2-1, but there were no further goals. This was his first goal of the season, and he has started six of the last seven matches. This was his second shot of the season, and he has put both on target. The defender also won both of his tackles and made five clearances for his team.
