The father of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is dealing with prostate cancer.

The Dallas Morning News Friday reported 50-year-old Ramiro Romo learned he had the illness late last season when his son developed into an NFL starting quarterback.

"He's your dad," a worried Tony Romo told the newspaper after practice Thursday.

"Tony and his dad, they really have a good relationship," said tight end Jason Witten. "I don't think he wants Tony to think a lot about it or want him losing his concentration. But they're best friends, so that makes it harder."
