Physical Performance Manager Luke Boyd said the 30-year-old from Launceston was facing "long road of recovery".
"Unfortunately, he has had significant damage around that knee," Boyd said on Hawthorn's website on Tuesday.
"He is booked in for surgery today and at this stage he is going to miss a large chunk of football."
Mohr, who twice has required a knee reconstruction in his football journey, was picked up by the Hawks in the rookie draft after 48 games for Greater Western Sydney.
He joins Devonport's Grant Birchall on the club's injury list. The four-time premiership Hawk is listed as indefinite after hurting his calf on the comeback from his knee woes.
