Flanker James Botham has been released from Wales’ Six Nations squad because of a knee injury as prop Dillon Lewis and lock Seb Davies received call-ups.
Botham started and scored a try in the 27-26 defeat by Scotland but has been sent back to his club Cardiff for rehabilitation.
Lewis becomes the fourth Wales tight-head option along with Leon Brown, Keiron Assiratti and Archie Griffin.
Wales travel to face England on Saturday at Twickenham.
Davies, 27, can play lock or in the back row while Cardiff flanker Alex Mann replaced Botham against Scotland and scored a try on his international debut.
Mackenzie Martin and Taine Basham are the other back-row options, with Taulupe Faletau and Jac Morgan missing through long-term injuries.
Prop Brown started the game against Scotland but was forced off at half-time through injury and replaced by Assiratti. Uncapped Bath prop Griffin is the other option in the squad.
Harlequins prop Lewis, 28, has played 54 internationals for Wales. The former Cardiff man was one of three tight-head props selected for the 2023 World Cup, alongside France-based Henry Thomas and Tomas Francis, who were not included in the original Six Nations squad.
Fly-half Sam Costelow is a doubt to face England, having being forced off the field in the first half against Scotland after being cleared out of a ruck.
Wales have revealed the issue was a neck problem rather than a concussion.
Costelow was replaced by Ioan Lloyd who is in contention for a first Wales fly-half start at Twickenham.
