Wilson has been charged by the Match Review Officer, who have treated the incident as intentional and low impact.
The Dockers have a bye this weekend, meaning Wilson won't feature for his side for close to three weeks as he misses Fremantle's clash with Collingwood in Round 15.
His return is scheduled for Round 16, when the Dockers host Carlton.
