How long can you refrigerate cryovac beef ribs?

I bought 8 chuck ribs from the store on Saturday and I'm hoping to smoke them on the 4th. Is that too long to have them in the fridge?

You’ll be fine, but your nose will tell you if you aren’t. I don’t wet age beef ribs as long as brisket because the bones seem to go south before the meat does.

Ya, I've never wet aged beef in my life and I'm hoping I don't open the package on the 4th and find out I wasted $82 of beef lol.

If properly sealed and handled they should be fine for over a month from pack date. I've done this lots of times. If you look up other sources they will tell you even much longer.
