Dak Prescott has spent the early days of training camp focused on football, running drills with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in Oxnard as the Cowboys prepare for their September 13 opener against the Giants.
On the fifth day of camp, Prescott welcomed a special visitor who cared far more about sunglasses than the playbook.

WFAA-TV reporter Mike Leslie shared the video on Instagram, capturing the wholesome exchange between Prescott and his daughter on the sideline before he returned to practice. Ramos dressed MJ specifically for the occasion, putting her in a white Cowboys logo top, a matching skirt, sneakers, and a hairband with a ribbon.
The two-year-old tossed a mini football to her dad before playfully snatching the sunglasses off his face in a moment captured by WFAA’s Mike Leslie and shared widely online. The visit came the same week Ramos posted poolside photos of herself and MJ, captioning one simply "Obsessed," as she continues sharing glimpses of their co-parenting routine.
Prescott is dealing with a sore knee at camp, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer has kept him limited in practice work as a precaution, though the team has downplayed any serious concern.

The 49ers made a similar family-driven move this offseason, with general manager John Lynch citing personal ties as part of the reasoning behind bringing Deebo Samuel back to the organization this summer. Lynch said the move made both schematic and emotional sense for a Bay Area roster trying to keep its locker room intact.
Samuel himself pointed to his relationship with quarterback Brock Purdy as one of the driving forces behind his return, a reminder that the bonds built away from the field often shape decisions made on it. Prescott has never been shy about balancing that same dynamic, having brought MJ and her younger sister Aurora to camp in years past as well, often turning practice breaks into family time whenever the schedule allows it.
Camp continues in Oxnard as Prescott works his way back to full health ahead of the regular season opener against the Giants on September 13. The Cowboys have leaned into a family atmosphere under Schottenheimer this summer, and Tuesday's visit fit right into that theme. For now, the biggest headline out of practice belonged to a two-year-old in a Cowboys skirt, not anything that happened between the lines.
