Scotland fly-half Finn Russell has been declared fit to start Saturday’s Six Nations match against England, but wing Darcy Graham is not involved in the matchday 23.
Both players suffered concussions after they collided in the first half of the heavy home defeat by Ireland on 9 February.
Russell passed a head injury assessment after the collision, but national team medics were uneasy about him continuing, while Graham was taken to hospital as a precaution.
