JACKSONVILLE -- Jaguars receiver Jimmy Smith was released from the hospital after abdominal surgery and said he wants to play this season.

"I'm suiting up next fall," Smith told the Florida Times-Union after being released Friday following 19 days in two different hospitals.

Smith had two surgeries in early April to repair scar tissue and remove an obstruction to his small intestine. He was readmitted to the hospital April 28 because his recovery had been slower than expected.

The 32-year-old Smith said he isn't considering retirement.
