Can be... But my first reaction is: he's aware that he had a LOT of players showing up, some teams didn't even have OTA and the NFLPA called for a boycott, so he's grateful for his players' motivation... and he's strengthening the bond between him and the players by just giving up on one week of training in shorts.
He's saying to the guys "you show up, you work hard, I got your back, I'm on your side". And maybe he also doesn't want to create a "booo look at the bad guys who didn't come! You were working hard for 3 weeks and they were chilling at home!" effect.
