The incident occurred halfway through the second period when Predators forward Cole Smith collided with Norris behind the Senators net resulting in Norris hitting the crossbar.
Nashville was leading 2-1 at the time of the incident.
Head coach Jacques Martin told reporters after the game that Norris will be re-evaluated on Wednesday.
Norris, 24, only played in eight games last season due to a long-term shoulder injury that required surgery in the offseason.
The 6-foot-2 centre has 16 goals and 30 points in 49 games this season.
