Apparently not.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson took a brutal hit to the head from Packers linebacker Clay Matthews after throwing an interception in the NFC Championship Game, and he looked like he might have suffered a concussion. But Wilson stayed in the game, and wasn’t limited in practice leading up to the Super Bowl.

Now Wilson says credit for healed his head goes to a product he invests in: Recovery Water.

In a lengthy profile in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Wilson claims the water, which the company he’s working with sells for $3 a bottle, caused his brain to recover from what could have been a serious injury.

“I banged my head during the Packers game in the playoffs, and the next day I was fine,” Wilson said. “It was the water.”

Wilson insists that the Recovery Water “works well,” and that a teammate used the water to heal a knee injury. And if that makes Recovery Water sound more like a scam than a miracle cure, well, Wilson admits he can’t prove that it works.

“Well, we’re not saying we have real medical proof,” Wilson said.

Update:

The article in the OP misquotes the Rolling Stone article. It's Wilson's agent that adds a disclaimer, while Wilson doubles down.

Another venture is slightly less altruistic. Wilson is an investor in Reliant Recovery Water, a $3-per-bottle concoction with nanobubbles and electrolytes that purportedly helps people recover quickly from workouts and, according to Wilson, injury. He mentions a teammate whose knee healed miraculously, and then he shares his own testimonial.

"I banged my head during the Packers game in the playoffs, and the next day I was fine," says Wilson. "It was the water."

[Mark] Rodgers offers a hasty interjection. "Well, we're not saying we have real medical proof."

But Wilson shakes his head, energized by the subject. He speaks with an evangelist's zeal.

"I know it works." His eyes brighten. "Soon you're going to be able to order it straight from Amazon."

What's his belief system again?

 

[jacobeid]

A real Nigel West Dickens we got here.

 

[harSon]

might want to reevaluate him cause i think the concussion symptoms are still lingering

 

[Alucrid]

It seems he still hasn't recovered then

 

[see5harp]

What's his belief system again?

The Almighty Dollar.

 

[Sanjuro]

Maybe if he drank cum he would have won the Super Bowl.

 

[chadskin]

What's his belief system again?

 

[Troy]

Not enough recovery water in the world to wash away what Malcom Butler did to him and 'hawks fans.

 

[TatteredHat]

His belief that water healed his head injury suggests otherwise.

 

[entremet]

What's his belief system again?

He's in an investor in the product lol.

 

[Vandiger]

Wilson needs to talk less. I like him but its becoming less with each crazy thing he blurts out.

 

[JDSN]

Its cum.

 

[Yaboosh]

Is this homeopathy based? Water memory or whatever?

 

[KingBroly]

So...there were drugs in it?

 

[Narag]

As approved by Dr. Rando

 

[Bronx-Man]

The Almighty Dollar.

[harSon]

Maybe if he drank cum he would have won the Super Bowl.

There were enough deflated balls the previous week

 

[HylianTom]

Maybe he drank heavy water and it's affecting his brain..

 

[andycapps]

Sure it did, Russell. You don't have evidence that it healed you, but it totally did.

 

[The Jackdog]

I really like wilson but honestly every time he opens his mouth its less and less

 

[TheOohChild]

Where is this bazaar where I can acquire his mystic healing waters? I must prepare for my journey

 

[Yaboosh]

Is it even legal for him to say that if he works for them?

 

[cdyhybrid]

It's clearly holy water that was blessed by our Lord and Savior Tebow.

#PraiseHim

[ito007]

This reminds me of that water all the Looney Toons drank in space jam right before they beat the monstars

EDIT: lmao there it is

 

[Balphon]

Must be all the snake oil.

 

[entremet]

Is it even legal for him to say that if he works for them?

Yes. He just has to disclose it.

 

[Lambtron]

God Russell is a fucking simp. I cannot stand this guy.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

!

 

[Bronx-Man]

Damn, I was 3 minutes late to the punch.

 

[Siegcram]

came for this, leaving pleased

 

[msdstc]

Uhh... Wtf. This reminds me of peter popoff, dude needs to cool it with that.

 

[ISWThunder]

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

And I'm sure celibacy won him that Super Bowl too, hm?

 

[lednerg]

Scientists from a Tacoma, WA-based biotech company have developed Recovery Water using a special electro-kinetically modified process. In this process, Recovery Water is infused with charged nano-structures, which are proven safe to consume and highly effective in promoting healthy cells.​

Um...

 

[diffusionx]

He's gonna become a Fox News contributor after he retires, isn't he?

 

[Violence Jack]

Please no Russ. Please don't turn out crazy.

 

[Spinluck]

Russell trying to push his shit product on us. Lol.

 

[A Serious Man]

Wilson on some stupid Peter Popoff shit? I'm not too surprised I guess.

Has science gone too far?

Wow I thought Metal Gear was all bullshit. That shit actually happened though.

 

[mkenyon]

I'm not the least bit surprised. I honestly hate that guy's off field persona.

Please no Russ. Please don't turn out crazy.

He's been there since day one. Anyone that fervently religious.....

 

[Box of Kittens]

As a Wisconsin Badgers fan it's sad to watch as it slowly comes out just how nuts Russell Wilson is. Getting to see him play in person even for just that one season was incredible.

As a New England Patriots fan, I'm just looking forward to the inevitable flood of Malcolm Butler jokes.

 

[dvdjamm]

You're better off getting that Cammy Cam Juice

It's a proven method. See: Manning, Eli.

 

[Milchjon]

Well, he does call himself DangeRuss...

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

He's in an investor in the product lol.

Yes, but with all the stuff about his girlfriend/fiance I need more info.

 

[Yaboosh]

Yes. He just has to disclose it.

But the company couldn't make claims that it cures head injuries. And since he can be seen as a representative of the company, is that not the same thing?
