Coach John Mitchell made six changes for Friday's WXV Global Series match in New Jersey.
The Exeter Chiefs scrum-half earned her first cap in 2025 and impressed as a replacement against Canada.
Holly Aitchison takes over as playmaker. Zoe Harrison moves to the bench.
Claudia Moloney-MacDonald and Tatyana Heard return. Carson and Muir start in the front row.
Ellie Kildunne, the 2024 World Rugby Player of the Year, stays on the bench. Emma Sing starts at full-back.
England lost back-to-back games to Canada. It is their first losing streak in a decade.
The defeats ended England's 41-match unbeaten streak that had lasted four years.
Mitchell told his players not to let one Test define them. He is building toward the 2029 World Cup.
"Our intent is to start this next phase strongly against the USA," the coach said.
The USA have won five games in a row. Freda Tafuna scored seven tries in her last four matches.
Friday, October 30 at Sports Illustrated Stadium. Kick-off 9:15 pm UK time, live on BBC iPlayer.
