According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the hope is that Ramsey will be ready for training camp.

Ramsey was the fifth overall pick in April’s draft, though if you ask him, he should have gone higher than that. While the injury doesn’t sound exceptionally severe, he’ll be missing out on some development time, which isn’t great news.
