The news comes as a real blow to the French club just one game into the defence of their Ligue 1 title.
The Brazil international suffered the problem in a friendly against Napoli and the severity of the injury was confirmed by MRI and ultrasound scans.
PSG's statement puts his recovery time at "several weeks" and it has been suggested that Silva will be sidelined for as much as five weeks.
The news means new signing David Luiz – the most expensive defender in history at a reported £50m – will have to settle into his new team without his Brazil team-mate.
