During the 2010 preseason, Wynn was released during the routine cuts that are mandated by the NFL for the 53 man roster. He tried out for the Seattle Seahawks but wasn't signed. It wasn't long before Green Bay Packer defensive end Justin Harrell was injured during the Packer's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, placing him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season and causing the Packers to contact Wynn and resign him to the squad for the 2010 season.
Wynn's wife Maratavia gave birth to their second son, Jarius Jr., on the morning of Super Bowl XLV.[1] They also have another son, Jeremiah.
Wynn is the cousin of former NFL running back Garrison Hearst.[2]
