Gromacki has not competed since early January because of the injury.
The program hopes Gromacki will be eligible for a medical hardship and an additional year of eligibility, which they intend to apply for at the appropriate time.
"Obviously we are disappointed that Jake will not be able to compete for the rest of the season, Ferraro said. "We are looking forward to having him back on the mat next year, and we're hopeful that we'll have him beyond that as well.
Gromacki was an NCAA qualifier in 2017 and was a consensus nationally-ranked competitor at 125 for much of the year, and appeared to be back on his way to the NCAA Championships. He has compiled a record of 29-14 in two years at Clarion, including an 8-5 mark this year.
