The midfielder suffered a serious hamstring tear at Thursday training and the Bulldogs expect him to be sidelined for eight to 10 weeks.
The 25-year-old has only managed 61 games since his 2012 debut, never playing more than 16 in a season.
He was denied a possible berth in the Bulldogs' drought-breaking 2016 premiership team when he suffered a broken collarbone in their elimination final win.
Jong also needed a knee reconstruction two years ago and needed surgery again last year for another broken collarbone.
First-year Bulldogs defender Buku Khamis also suffered a knee injury in a marking contest on Thursday and is expected to be be out of action for six to eight weeks.
