He was hurt during the second-half of Wales' 32-8 defeat by Australia in Cardiff last weekend.
Amos, who has won 11 caps, impressed after going on as a substitute before injury struck in the second half last weekend.
In an injury update posted on the official Newport Gwent Dragons website, Amos' regional team said he would now undergo surgery.
