Sean Lamont has been ruled out of Scotland's remaining Six Nations games after suffering a knee injury during Glasgow's 26-5 win over Zebre in the Guinness Pro12 on Friday.
Lamont, who will sit out the games against England and Ireland, has been replaced in the squad by British and Irish Lions winger Sean Maitland, who missed Scotland's opening three Six Nations defeats with a shoulder problem.
Edinburgh forward Stuart McInally also comes into the squad ahead of the Calcutta Cup match at Twickenham on Saturday as cover for hooker Ross Ford, who is fighting to overcome the back spasm he suffered in the home defeat by Italy last month.
The 24-year-old has scored three tries in seven appearances for Edinburgh this season and started at hooker during their weekend win over Treviso after being converted from a No 8.
Glasgow back Peter Horne is also being monitored by the Scotland medical team after he suffered concussion against Zebre at Scotstoun Stadium.
