Huddersfield captain Kevin Brown returns to the squad for Sunday's game against Super League newcomers Widnes.
The stand-off missed out on the season-opening victory against his former club Wigan last week, but is fit enough to take his place in a 19-man squad alongside forward Dale Ferguson.
Aaron Murphy and Josh Johnson are the men to make way as the Giants aim to get their season off to a flyer in front of their home fans.
The Vikings' return to the top division fell flat as they were beaten at home by Wakefield on opening night and coach Denis Betts makes changes to his squad.
There is no place for Stefan Marsh (groin) or captain Jon Clarke (hamstring), both of whom started against the Wildcats, but recently-recruited prop Ben Davies is included.
And there are spots for wing Paddy Flynn, full-back Jack Owens and loose forward Simon Finnigan.
Huddersfield squad: Grix, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Gilmour, McGillvary, Brown, Brough, Crabtree, Robinson, Lunt, Patrick, Ferguson, Wardle, Chan, Lee, George, Fairbank, Walker, Eden.
Widnes squad: Ah Van, Allen, Cahill, Craven, Cross, Davies, Dean, Finnigan, Flynn, Haggerty, Hanbury, Isa, Kavanagh, Moore, Mullally, Owens, Pickersgill, White, Winterstein.
