I think it would depend on alot of things. How severe the injury is. What the injury is. Most importantly whatever a doctor told you. alot has to do with knowing your body also. I had a shoulder injury in early November and still have discomfort but have figured that with alot of light weight high reps warmup I will be fine for the day. But everyone is different. I would just stretch the shoulder alot and do whatever the doctor you went to said to do.
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” Mark Victor Hansen

I sounds like you are trying to work around your injury. Very good.
Here's a bit of my story, which I think may be pertinent here.
I have a chronic bad back. After competing in the WNPF Worlds last Nov. I suffered a bad attack (my 1st) of Sciatica. I was in terrible pain for 2 days, and limping for over a month. I used Anti-inflamitory drugs and saw a doctor. I chronicled the whole thing here in a Thread.
To make a long story short...
I did not take a day off from the gym. I found ways to work safely through and around my injury. 4 months later, I am healing and have healed enough that I did a 425 lb Rack Pull yesterday (knock wood)
Will the Clean and Jerk hurt your shoulder? There is only 1 way to find out what exercises you can and cannot do, while you are in the acute stages of any injury.

My doctor told me not to Squat.
I'm going to try to break my PR, and Squat 300 lbs, short-term. My long-term goal is 450-500 lbs.
Listen to your doctor, and then make up your own mind based on lots of things.
If the doctors knew everything, no one would suffer disease. Just IMO.Bench (raw): 325 lbs. X 1

I just competed in the USAPL New Jersey State Bench Press Championship. I won 1st place in my division with a Bench Press which was 104 lbs over my bodyweight.
I have a bad shoulder.
My training partner is 60 years of age. He just broke his PR in the Bench Press at the same meet.
He has a bad shoulder.

My training partner is an ex-construction worker. He says it's an old work-related injury.
Mine comes and goes. I think it's related to my back. A chiropractor I went to recently thinks I have a problem in the neck area of my spine, since my arm goes numb at times.
Work around and through all injuries Man. If they are too bad and you have to stop and rest, stop and rest. Rehab it, and get back to workBench (raw): 325 lbs. X 1
