Door jamb fix?

Trying to fix this front door jamb. My father in law enjoys leaving does open and the wind took it and ripped off the arms My thought was to multi tool a square section out, apply a square piece in, wood putty over it, sand and paint. If there are better ways I'm open to them. My real question is the insulation in the picture seems to go behind the original wood, yet it looked to all be one piece. Is that normal? How can I adjust for this? Id also like to replace this as well since I want to rip it out to paint it. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Always_the_student11 [link] [comments]
