Default Lower Body workout due to shoulder injury?

A shoulder problem (inflamed cartilege on my collarbone) is preventing me from doing my regular full body work out for at least two weeks.

I don't want to stop lifting altogether and though this would be a good opportunity to really focus on the lower body, but it's difficult to come up with exercises that don't involve the shoulders to some degree.

Does anyone have suggestions?

I was thinking of db squats and lunges, but i'm not sure if holding the db's puts a stress on the shoulders and i definately want to avoid any shoulder strain during recovery.

Any thoughts, suggestions would be appreciated.
