Probably. But to let my elbow heal I really do need 3-4 weeks of no low bar or front squatting. An injury is really just an opportunity to work on something you've been neglecting, which for me is my deadlift. For awhile squat progress drove my deadlift progress, but I think if I want to pull 500 any time soon I'm going to need to do some deadlift specific work. On that note:
| Speed Deadlifts vs Bands | 5/3/1 Deficit Deadlifts | Rack Pulls | Good Mornings |
Workout 1 | 8x2x90kg | | 5x5x150kg | |
Workout 2 | | 5+x155kg | | 3x10x60kg |
Workout 3 | 6x2x100kg | | 3x3x160kg | |
Workout 4 | | 3+x165kg | | 3x6x70kg |
Workout 5 | 8x2x110kg | | 8x3x170kg | |
Workout 6 | | 1+x175kg | | 5x8x80kg |
Deload | | | | |

Workouts will be 3-5 days apart. I wrote this after reading a bunch of deadlift articles by Cressey and Louie, and I feel like it incorporates the general principles they preach.
I might as well take advantage of not squatting.
