Depends on your skill level. But you can turn any given guitar skill into a (presumably) picking hand exercises by simplifying the fretting hand part.
If you working on strumming, then just play the open strings, or play a simplified chord that doesn't involve your middle finger. For example, this tutorial in GF1.

Anders plays 2 very simple voicings of E minor & G major only using his ring finger to fret. The main focus is strumming. You could do more advanced strumming patterns with those, or you could work on arpeggiating (play the chord notes rhythmically separated).
Caren has some good advice in this tutorial on strumming. Just don't play the chords until you are healed.

Mike did a good one on rock style strumming. And on this one you can modify the parts to only using power chords with your index & pinky.

These tutorials are aimed at learning the basics of rock style picking & strumming. You can leave off the chords, or modify them to one or two finger power chords.

If you are looking for more advanced exercises, I have some advanced rock picking exercises & some classical fingerpicking exercises. You can modify these to leaving out your middle finger, or just leave off fretted notes completely & work on the picking hand.

You can practice skipping strings while playing scales or arpeggios with your right hand which will help improve coordination and accuracy in your picking hand. contexto

Consider playing a G using the first, middle, and ring fingers of your left hand.
