To revise my last reply, if you look at pugjesus’ comment, the original source appear to say that a lot of them did it.

and most of them laid down their shields and rested one foot upon them

Looks like it actually was a lot of them that did it.

Roman forces had a system for rotating troops in and out of the very front line of combat in the middle of a battle (like hockey players mid game), so yes it would only make sense to have the shields there for those who are actively fighting.

Also I can’t imagine this was a regular occurrence
