Josh Norris wore a regular practice jersey Wednesday for the first time since training camp began.
Despite being a full participant in practice, coach D.J. Smith said the forward is still "not officially cleared for contact."
Norris, who hasn't played a regular-season game since re-injuring his shoulder Jan. 21, "tweaked something" in his shoulder two weeks ago. He is expected to play multiple preseason games, but the Senators still don't know which ones.
"Today's practice will have a lot to do with that," Smith said. "We'll see how he feels. We're not going to put him in a situation if he isn't 100 percent mentally there and the doctors haven't cleared him to play in that game. He's really close. So, he's going to play in a couple exhibition games for sure. Is it Friday? I don't know. Is it out east? (Sunday) We'll see. I think today's practice and tomorrow's practice will dictate a lot of that."
The 24-year-old has missed 90 games the past two seasons due to shoulder injuries.
