Well, Race, what do we find. The accepted usage of "bound" has nine definitions in this meaning - and only #3 comes even close to your interpretation while number 1,2,4,5, and 6 plus the list of synonyms seem to support MY interpretation.
The Amplified Bible renders the relevant passage thusly:
7But the burial napkin (kerchief) which had been around Jesus' head, was not lying with the other linen cloths, but was [still] [1] rolled up (wrapped round and round) in a place by itself.
This is taken from the most original source material and translated with alternative usages of the Greek words included as well. Note the description of the Sudarium... "burial napkin (kerchief)" and the description of its condition after the resurrection: "[still] rolled up (wrapped round and round)". These give clear indication that it was rolled when it was on Jesus and still rolled afterwards. If the Greek meaning was that it was "rolled up (wrapped round and round)" then it could not have been a covering for the face... it was a binding.
The Sudarium of Oviedo

This is crystal Clear!
Lazarus' Face was BOUND AROUND with a covering! Not a cord, not a tiedown for the Jaw, but a FULL FACE COVERING!!
That was for Lazarus. Let's see what it says for Jesus!
7 And <2532> the napkin <4676>, that <3739> was <2258> (5713) about <1909> his <846> head <2776>, not <3756> lying <2749> (5740) with <3326> the linen clothes <3608>, but <235> wrapped together <1794> (5772) in <1519> a place <5117> by itself <1520> <5565>.

So, it is the same word for Jesus!
And what is that Word? It does NOT translate into a string, or band to be used to wrap someone's jaw shut!!
Do you see it now?
Always refer to the Bible when talking about the Bible! You will see that so many things are just not true when you actually look it up in the Bible!
That BINDING, you called it, the cord, or tie down for the Jaw, is NOT found in the original Greek, it is a Kerchief, a NAPKIN, not a cord, not a string, not a band at all. It is a FULL FACE COVERING. And you see it for yourself now.
