I know some will say to fight through it if its not bad. But a re-occuring shoulder injury is the worst thing a lifter can go through as it effects almost every lift.
I'd just stick to resistence/stretching. When you do get back into it, focus on exercises that will strengthen and increase the flexibility of your rotator cuff. When you do go back into direct shoulder work, replace your seated shoulder press with a standing military press. You lose stability, forcing a lighter weight, but do so while strengthing your balancing ability and giving your shoulders probably even a better workout. When you do go back into the shoulder rack, you'll notice a increased flexibility not to mention strength.
I do plenty of military presses and seated/standing dumbbell presses I was just doing a seated press for shits and giggles. But I think I'm going to do more rotator cuff and range of motion exercises for a bit.

The resistance bands as others have mentioned are awesome. That was pretty much all I used throughout my recovery while constantly doing stretches to increase the range of motion.
Does it feel loose? Mine felt loose the day after and for a good few months.
It actually feels alot better then it did on Thursday already doesn't hurt nearly as much. No it doesn't feel loose or anything just some pain when I lift it up in certain positions.
