Lawes limped off late in a brutal 21-13 defeat to Wales at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.
Northampton Saints on Sunday revealed that the British and Irish Lion will be sidelined for at least four weeks, ruling him out of the clashes with Italy and Scotland at Twickenham.
Lawes turned 30 on the day of a loss in Cardiff which shattered England’s bid for a Grand Slam.
