At best, Gillett will return in time for State of Origin II in Sydney on June 24.
However, he could miss the entire series.
It's a body blow for Queensland coach Kevin Walters with Gillett among the best back-rowers in the game over the past several years.
Walters has a headache about what to do with the right-edge position.
Melbourne's Felise Kaufusi would be the leading contender - given his stellar 2017, which culminated in his Kangaroos debut - however, he has battled a hamstring injury and form over the first five weeks.
North Queensland's Coen Hess, who also plays on the right, is a contender to come into the starting side.
While Walters will also struggle to select Josh Papalii given he was recently dropped by Canberra coach Ricky Stuart.
