When Kerry Wynn’s name was brought up during the summer to coach Pat Shurmur, Wynn was described in a question as a second-line player. Shurmur said he viewed Wynn as a front-line player.
Wynn started Sunday’s 27-22 victory over the Texans, replacing rookie B.J. Hill on the defensive line and made the coaching staff look good for making the move.
Wynn was extremely active, with five tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass defensed and one quarterback hit. He knocked the ball out of the hands of Lamar Miller, forcing a third-quarter fumble that was recovered by Donte Deayon with the Texans in Giants territory.
