i've been doing boxing for some years but recently got a shoulder injury that will take many months to recover. Unfortunately i cannot do sparring and other heavy training and can only do light exercises and practice combinations that are not too taxing on the shoulders. What types of training can i do to keep up in the meantime so i do not lose progress or at least have something where i can improve?. I was thinking on focusing on footwork, coordination drills and light shadowboxing for technique but i can't seem to incorporate them well enough.

depending on what kind of shoulder injury, practicing head movement might be a very good use of your time.
wouldn't help your boxing but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get good at straight kicks and push kicks in case you ever got in a street fight. both valuable tools that don't take a lot of time to get down decently.

Tyson did a ton of squats when he was in prison.

What do you mean that you can't incorporate them well enough?I'll probably get hate for this but Tai Chi might be a really good option. It's basically footwork, coordination, and shadowboxing but the whole point is to develop relaxed strength; coordination is a huge part of that. As long as you find a good teacher who isn't super woo woo I think it will be really good.But that also depends on the nature of your injury...
