Defender Edwards has joined the club on loan until the end of May from Blackpool and will provide much-needed cover at centre-half.
Leon Barnett has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury and Edwards could be on the bench at Carrow Road - with Elliott Ward and Zak Whitbread continuing in the back four.
Striker Chris Martin missed the 2-2 draw with Leeds on Saturday with a hamstring injury and is set to be out again so Aaron Wilbraham could keep his place alongside captain Grant Holt.
Left-winger Simon Lappin will also be out for around a fortnight after having an appendectomy operation on Saturday.
