"Pay the man," Prescott said when asked about the 32-year-old's absence at camp.
Martin has been with the Cowboys since he was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
He has been named a first-team All-Pro six times in his career.
The Cowboys will take on the Seattle Seahawks in their second preseason game this Saturday, we will have to wait and see if Martin will suit up for the game.
