The former Sunderland man limped off during Tuesday night's Carling Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur, which Stoke won on penalties.
A scan has revealed that there is only minor damage to the hamstring and he could return for the match against Fulham on 15th October.
Before then, the Potters play Manchester United, Besiktas and Swansea City before heading into the international break.
Despite competing for a place with Cameron Jerome, Peter Crouch and Jon Walters, Jones has played in nine of Stoke's 11 matches this season and scored against Norwich City in August.
EXTREMELY BRIGHT
Assistant manager Dave Kemp told the club's official website: "There is a slight problem, but it's nothing too serious.
"Kenwyne will miss this weekend's game and more than likely next week's two games as well, but after that we have the break which will give him a bit of time to get up and running again.
"It is disappointing for us, and for him, because he has carried on from the end of last season with his form and done very well for us.
"He looked extremely bright against Tottenham before he had to come off."
