Tuilagi is expected to compete with Fraser Dingwall for the inside centre position against Scotland.
Dingwall made his Test debut in the opening win over Italy before retaining his place and scoring his first England try in the victory over Wales.
England have won both of their opening Six Nations matches for the first time in five years.
However, they have lost their past three meetings with Scotland, who were beaten by France in their last match.
