Can We Use Multiple Normal Bam Files As Input For Mutect To Generate Vcf Files?

Hi,

I have a tumor sample with me, which has a blood normal and solid normal. I'm using MuTect to generate variants. I wanted to know if I could use multiple normal BAM files as input for a particular tumor BAM file. Or should I use them separately?

Thanks!
