Brisket question

Trimmed a brisket and covered it rub yesterday. Then life happened and I won’t be able to cook it till Tuesday. Currently sitting uncovered in my fridge on wire racking. 

Question is...should I be fine and I am simply overthinking it? Or should I figure out a way to make the cook happen sooner?

    I'm no expert here but whenever I prep and season a brisket more than a few hours before a cook (which is 99% of the time) I wrap/cover in shrink wrap to preclude any fridge induced drying.  My challenge with the cook is to hit the finish-line with a juicy hunk of beef so I limit the moisture loss before the cook.  FWIW-
    Edit: in your current situation I would wrap in shrink wrap and then get the cook going when the schedule allows.
