NO shoulder level or overhead shoulder EXs!
Just a basic good rule of thumb is to not do any exercise past shoulder level with a hurt shoulder. To be specific, if you measured the angle, I wouldn't exercise past 70 degrees (90 degrees is arms out to side). Why? As you lift your arm, the shoulder joint gets tighter together and there is more of a chance of impingement(bones pinching tendons and causing injury or reinjury).
You can do bis and tris with lower weight with your upper arm fixed at your side with good posture if its painfree. The muscle contractions will actually help heal the shoulder faster because the blood pumping will act as a siphon to remove swelling and fluids built up there.
I'm giving you this advice as a licenced PT. Any PT will agree with this.
*and if you ice, it will be uncomfortable, but it takes atleast 20 minutes to penetrate deep enough to make a difference, so let the ice work....especially if you're a huge, thick guy, you should leave the ice on longer--has to go through more meat.
 
i got my shoulder heavly injuried one year ago or more. my story is visible on my threads. feel free to read.

i got over 7 month to health it completely and i paid almost 3000$ for that.

i stayed almost 11 month without gear. i lost muscle because of the treatment to health my shoulder, and also because it was completly impossible to old my harm.

i thought to stop bodybuilding... realy.

But after pain and patience i recover my strengh... slowly but certainly.
 
I don't think taking or not taking any supps would either make the healing process go faster or slower. I'd take it easy but continue without the overhead movements. To some degree, muscle contractions will help pump out swelling/fluid.
 
I think these next few weeks give you a great opportunity to dominate legs, while you rehab shoulder.
