Wilson hurt his right knee last August while leading Australia to their historic win over South Africa at Ellis Park - their first victory at the venue in 62 years.
The 26-year-old was forced off the field after scoring the second of his two tries.
He underwent clean-up surgery in Brisbane on Friday and is expected to be sidelined for about six weeks, with the Reds facing NSW in their season opener on February 13.
"It's great news that the surgery has gone well," Reds coach Les Kiss said in a statement.
"The opportunity now is for our other Reds backrowers to step up and show their wares.
"Joe Brial did so in 2025 with some big performances.
"John Bryant is back with us after his secondment to Benetton Rugby in Treviso gave him the benefit of strong game and training time in Europe in the URC competition before Christmas.
"That shows the benefit of fostering these partnerships with other clubs.
"Younger backrowers Vaiuta Latu and Tom Robinson made excellent impressions in the Queensland jersey for the first time post-Super Rugby last year when games against Tonga, Japan's Saitama Panasonic Wild Knights and the teams in Super Rugby AUS were underway."
Queensland have a bye in week two, before their first home game against the Highlanders on February 27.
